I would LOVE to live in the world of the Now You See Me movies! Here’s why: nothing makes a lick of sense, but somehow everything always works out perfectly in the end. Just so long as you’re not one of those selfish Master of the Universe types, that is. Is this what justice looks like? Well, it’s at least what Justice Smith looks like, considering that he’s one of the main new stars arriving for the third entry, Now You Don’t. And in case you’re wondering, here’s my response to that subtitle: yes, they do, and they probably always will!

Grade: Actually, Though, This One’s a Little Too Illusory
