He also wrapped filming on Now You See Me 3.

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.

[–] Sandbag@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago

Same with back to the future, 1 was amazing, 3 is amazing, 2 was awful.

Leonardo DiCaprio advice Timothy Chalemet was "No hard drugs and no superhero movies."

[–] Trae@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Dune isn't a super hero film. It's a space opera based on a series of Novels.

Super Hero films are typically based on comic book stories from the likes of Marvel / DC / Dark Horse.

How do you confuse Dune with a superhero movie.

Do you consider the Lord of the rings or Star Wars superhero movies?

[–] GunValkyrie@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

No confusion at all. Frank Herbert wrote Paul as a superhero white savior. It's the point of the entire story. I think people are thinking that I am criticizing the movie or his acting. But I'm only commenting on the fact that he was told not to do a superhero movie and then played a superhero in a story.

[–] Hylactor@sopuli.xyz 7 points 5 days ago

I think the threshold may be: adapted from comic book equals hero movie; adapted from novel equals sci fi.

[–] olafurp@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

That's just sci-fi, not super hero like Marvel/DC.

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago

I think he's a very good actor. This was a bad movie, and the part didn't suit him, and he played it bad. Only worst villan role was Paul Giamatti in Rock and Rolla making bugs bunny jokes. His roles need to stay within nerdy limits.
