I have never seen any of this franchise and as the third one is about to be released, I am curious on what the community’s opinion is of these movies.

The ads smack of YA garage and I have not noticed any buzz around the franchise but the cast gets my attention.

So if you have seen the other two what is your opinion?

    I’ve only seen the first one and didn’t think it was that great. It’s a heist movie where all of the characters are magicians, which just enabled some lazy writing for a heist movie. Instead of having to come up with a clever way for the characters to pull something off, every time it’s just magic. And not like an actual magic trick that you could explain the mechanics of; they can just do anything. Make anything disappear, make anything reappear, make themselves disappear when there’s nothing around them and they haven’t been to that location before. It’s a heist movie where the characters can use cheat codes, so it never has that moment where you think, “that was smart.”
