It's a curious franchise. I know I watched the first two movies, and I was entertained. I remember the theme, but I can't remember the plot at all. It's all blank in my brain.

like Oceans 11 franchise or fast and furious. you would never go to a theatre and pay actual money.

I just remember that the illusions in the second one were so absurd that there’s no way they could have been done live, much less in front of groups of people. When the basic premise of a movie doesn’t work then the whole thing ends up being cringeworthy.

That also goes for the first. Doesn't Jesse Eisenberg turn into water in one scene?

If I can't remember a movie, that's my cue that it wasn't very good. I'm easily entertained in the moment, but how I think on it later determines my real feelings.

I think both were about showing how good they were, to be entered into a secret society or something?
