The first movie was fun. The second was ok. I kind of see this franchise going the route of the Ocean’s movies. First one was really good, and they got progressively less good as they marched on. With the last one, they leaned into the humor to overshadow the lack of cleverness in the plot. I’m not sure Now You See Me has the star power to push mediocrity as far as Ocean’s did. Don’t get me wrong, I like the cast, and I really do hope they can put out something genuinely clever that showcases the talented cast they have.
Oceans 12 was dogshit. Oceans 13 was great.
