Radio TimesKevin HarleyNov 14, 2025
Combining legacy characters with a new trio of younger illusionists, the third film in this action-comedy series is a busily disposable – if fitfully fun – combination of reunion gig and new-generation franchise spruce-up. Read full review

Little White LiesAnna McKibbinNov 13, 2025
Like close-up magic, the Now You See Me films function best when you soak in the vibe rather than get close enough to unpick any machinations of magic trickery. Read full review

Time OutHelen O'HaraNov 12, 2025
Although the quips aren’t always sharp enough and the sleight of hand a little lacking, it takes a hard heart not to cheer as a few young victims of a broken system carve out their own little bit of magic. Read full review

PolygonChris HaynerNov 11, 2025
Now You See Me: Now You Don't is a fine movie — although it does have some glaring flaws — but its biggest sin is promising a long-awaited sequel only to deliver something completely different: it’s a reboot masquerading as a sequel, aka a requel. Read full review

Now You See Me: Now You Don't is pretty to look at, pretty dumb, and pretty freakin' fun. Read full review

The GuardianJesse HassengerNov 11, 2025
Despite the franchise being nearly old enough for a legacy sequel, there’s a light musicality to its various feats of showmanship that makes it feel like a scrappy upstart. So does the perpetual feeling that it might disappear in a puff of smoke. Read full review

ColliderJeff EwingNov 11, 2025
Altogether, a lot works about Now You See Me: Now You Don't. It's a lot of fun, with a dangerous new foe and big, great-looking tricks. The new cast members are all stellar, have an engaging dynamic with the original team, and everyone gets a stand-out hero moment (a must for an ensemble this size). On the other hand, the script feels perpetually rushed. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckNov 11, 2025
While Now You See Me: Now You Don’t proves undeniably entertaining, it’s more than a little exhausting as well. Read full review

IGNEric GoldmanNov 11, 2025
Now You See Me: Now You Don’t serves as a reminder of how they manage to coast by just enough, providing a good time thanks to the notable talent and charm of their expanding cast and the inclusion of the magic trick element to provide a unique flair. It’s the epitome of “We’re just having fun here” entertainment, and while little of it resonates, it mostly gets the job done. Read full review

TheWrapWilliam BibbianiNov 11, 2025
It’s a magic act without the storytelling, so every moment is the prestige, and none of it feels prestigious. It’s goofy and shallow and delightful and in a couple days I’ll forget I ever saw it. Read full review

Jesse Eisenberg and his magician crew plan a diamond heist, but slinky, shady Rosamund Pike steals this zircon of a movie Read full review

Its most impressive feat, however, is finding a way to somehow be even duller than its predecessors. Read full review

Screen DailyTim GriersonNov 11, 2025
When Now You Don’t tries to be poignant while pondering the passage of time and the loss of loved ones, the franchise’s glib construction cannot withstand the tonal shift. And the story’s relentless razzle-dazzle eventually feels laboured, sapping the fizzy fun. Read full review

The TimesKevin MaherNov 14, 2025
My two stars are for [Pike] alone. She’s an utter hoot in every scene, part Miranda Priestly, part Hannibal Lecter, and it’s an unsettling testament to her power as a performer that she tilts the sympathy axis of the entire movie towards her. Read full review

EmpireJohn NugentNov 11, 2025
Now You Three Me, as it should be called, offers ample 2010s nostalgia, but not quite enough brainless fun lands successfully. Put this rabbit back in the hat. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Sarah-Tai BlackNov 11, 2025
While the original Now You See Me had a winking audacity that leaned into the absurdity of its bag of tricks, the newest installment feels rote and lacks the thrill of genuine surprise. Read full review

Screen RantGregory NussenNov 11, 2025
Even more than its two predecessors, the film relies on being condescension to sell its so-called magic. Read full review
