Movie Review - Now You See Me: Now You Don't
Now You See Me: Now You Don't wasn't bad, but I feel, like many sequels, it tries too hard to one-up its previous installments while sacrificing character development. Every situation the characters face is resolved through magic tricks, not through introspection or personal growth.
The closest thing we see to character change is Atlas admitting his feelings, begrudgingly. That barely counts as character growth. If they're going to keep on making these movies, and by all accounts it looks like they are, then they need to challenge the characters to do more than come up with ever increasingly complex magic tricks.
