NOW YOU SEE ME: NOW YOU DON'T Movie Reaction! | First Time Watch | Jesse Eisenberg | Woody Harrelson

The hosts strongly disliked Bosco, finding him obnoxious, pessimistic, and an "odd choice" for a Horseman. They felt his character created unnecessary adversity and lacked a satisfying redemption arc, making him the primary reason for their lower enjoyment of the film.

Jabbi states, "I don't like him. I I don't think personally personally Yeah. I felt like I would have liked Now You See Me 3 if it was just the old members getting back together." Ashley adds, "A big sticking point for me as to why I didn't enjoy this one is Bosco... he brought this movie down so hard for me from the word go."

While appreciating some new additions, the hosts felt the new characters (June, Bosco, Charlie) were not fully integrated or necessary. They preferred a focus on the original Horsemen and Lula, adapting their magic to be more current, rather than introducing new, younger characters.

Ashley suggests, "I would like to see them adapt their magic to be more current opposed to having new people be current with magic." Jabbi also questioned, "What are they adding to this besides like their their magic?"

The hosts expressed frustration that the movie completely bypassed the setup from the end of "Now You See Me 2," which promised a deeper look into "The Eye" headquarters. They felt this omission left a narrative gap and prevented a more compelling continuation of the story.

Jabbi notes, "at the end of part two, they were part of the eye and like, we're now in the headquarters. And so, there's this sense of like, we're going to get to see behind the curtain. We never got it." Ashley confirms, "Yeah, we just completely dodged that."

The hosts highlighted Rosamund Pike's portrayal of Veronica Vanderburg as a strong, believable villain who seemed to enjoy her role without being overly "villainy." They found her performance made the movie better despite other criticisms.

Ashley states, "I liked her a lot. I don't know how consistent the accent was... To me, it sounded pretty good for the most part. I was convinced." Jabbi adds, "I like it when villains aren't too villainy... She actually seemed like she was having fun."

The hosts noted a lack of urgency and lower stakes in some of the magic sequences compared to previous films, particularly during a "bonding moment" trick. They felt the characters were "goofing" when the plot demanded more tension.

Ashley comments, "In other films, it just had higher stakes. Right. It felt like, oh, no, like, you can't mess this up because this is a part of the plan." Jabbi agrees, "Whereas here, they were just kind of goofing."
