I had no idea they made this a franchise. The first one was super forgettable.

and they wonder why 2025 is the worse year in box office excluding 2020.
The second one was worse.
It has an interesting cast so I tried watching it but you're right in what you say, it was just so uninteresting that I gave up after about 25 minutes.
Finally, somebody. I found the movie super lame, but anywhere I look online people seem to be loving these. Very strange
I had the same feeling about Fantastic 4 and F1.
F1 is just Stallone's Driven remade.

They called the first sequel Now You See Me 2, spitting in the face of the obvious sequel title. Now that they have finally deigned to use it for the three-quel, I have been exclusively referring to the film as Now You 3 Me.
It shouldn’t bring me joy, but it does.
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.
“I swear if they throw that card one more time…arrrrghh!!!”
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?
How was this a movie people watched. The first one was kinda fun. The second was so bad people forgot about who even played in it.
None of those statements are questions.
Because people are compelled to see a story through. How many times have you watched a bad series until the end because you were too invested?
Zero. Never. I've quit many in many places. Is that a normal human behavior? What the fuck is wrong with you people?
Is that what it looks like to hate watch a show?
Yes. I agree with you, but I know many people who cling to shitty books, series, games in some weird obligation to finish. There is definitely a sense of accomplishement in seeing something through to the end and closing it forever, but I also don’t get it. A few weeks ago I stopped a movie after 15 minutes because it sucked - time is my most valuable commodity, and I refuse to waste it in ways that are not highly enjoyabe to me
Corporate Stockholm Syndrome and a clear lack in media literacy.
Honestly just gonna block the incessant Hollywood bootlickers that just mindlessly parrot business propaganda.
Still missed the opportunity of the century by not calling number 2 "now you don't".
This one is subtitled "Now You Don't". I think the only reason they made part 3 was to finally use that title.
I enjoy these, overall. Even though the finale of the second one was kind of a meaningless mess.
Anyone want to bet the third one goes to space? It's only the third installment, but the series feels ready to speed-run exhausting the audience's suspension of disbelief.
Anyone want to bed the third one goes to space?
not without clarifying what you mean by goes to space. do you mean that it will do well at the box office? or poorly? or is this like jumping the shark? or do you think they will go to space as part of the plot?
do you think they will go to space as part of the plot?
I am speculating that they will go to space as part of the plot.
Nobody but the corporates profiting give a shit about this.
This isn’t interesting talk about the art of filmmaking or the craft. This is just some business person wanking off another corporate ghoul and calling it news.
Stop sharing corporate propaganda and profit wanking.
It’s an industry trade magazine. What the fuck do you expect?
You sound like you need a break from social media.
Actually conversation about movies in a community about film and not just more corporate articles posted pretending the public or users on here actually give a shit about the profits.
Stop sharing corporate propaganda and profit wanking.
Feel free to post thought provoking articles or discussions about film making
If I’m gonna post anything it will be OC and not just forwarding corporate propaganda or profit wanking.
Blocking all the Hollywood and corporate bootlickers with Stockholm Syndrome from now on along with the Ai simps.
These numbers decide the movies the get made….
Products made based on these numbers are there solely to enrich the owning class and their shareholders and not because the story is good or a creative person has a message to share.
It’s inoffensive sludge to appease the drooling masses that are content with billionaires and corporate pedos dangling some shiny keys while the world goes to shit.
