NOW YOU SEE ME, NOW YOU DON’T

Now You See Me, Now You Don’t (2025)

Directed by: Ruben Fleischer

If you’re a fan of Part 1 and Part 2, then it’s a no brainer to catch this sequel. The reunion feels good to witness. Nothing beats the original, but the new additions aren’t so bad. Prepare for a surprise that’ll surely make everyone happy.

The story isn’t refreshing and gripping, coming across as a rehash of familiar television tropes. There’s a lot of talking to explain previous events and current happenings. The excessive exposition slow things down, leading to boredom. The fun keeps coming back whenever they perform.

There’s a thin line between reality and fantasy—and they always go for the latter. Even though they reveal the secrets and workaround of their magic tricks, the logistics just ain’t mathing.

The funny thing is you still findself getting entertained despite the impossibilities. You ought to believe in magic. The upgrades in riddles and puzzles cater to a new generation of tricksters. A live escape room featured in this movie is a must-have experience.

It’s a bummer they didn’t dig deeper to the secret organization. However, seeing it grow, with unknowable limits, adds thrill and excitement to the upcoming installments. This sequel may not be as great as the previous ones, but it keeps you interested with what’s coming.

The future seems promising.

Let’s keep an eye on it.
