theres the real career killer. 2 was so awful, and youre going to make a 3rd??
I hate being reminded that these movies exist. Wow, a film about fake magicians doing fake tricks with CGI, awesome.
At least make them real wizards, cowards.
I also weirdly hate these movies without actually properly watching them myself. The execution is just so stupid. I like the idea of it, illusionists robbing stuff. I was expecting it to be like Ocean’s Eleven where it convinces me that their plan is actually feasible, but none of the tricks make any sense whatsoever.
I watched only the first one ages ago. I barely remember it. I think the "twist" was that the main detective chasing the group was actually in on the heist? I remember being annoyed because it was the sort of thing where the audience wasn't allowed to figure it out themselves and it was more of a random last minute reveal.
I feel like you have to just because everyone knows the second film in a series sucks, but the 3rd one can sometimes be better than the first. Like with Die Hard. First one is good, second one is shit, 3rd is arguably the best in the series.
That's quite an opinion.
Same with back to the future, 1 was amazing, 3 is amazing, 2 was awful.
