Now You See Me Now You Don't might have just won the popcorn bucket war in 2025

I mean, a movie about magicians that has a popcorn bucket that can make your popcorn "disappear!" Just how impressive is that? I personally wasn't that interested in the movie, but I might buy a ticket just to add this bucket to my collection. This is next-level creativity that I believe theatregoers deserve in a time when movies are available digitally almost immediately after release, giving little incentive to go to the theater.

Right? That’s actually a brilliant bit of marketing. Even if the movie ends up being average, stuff like that makes the whole theater experience feel fun again. I’d probably go just for the bucket too.

The film is actually doing great. Creativity is on full display with this one

I'm actually kind of surprised by that considering the second movie was pretty mediocre

The step up from the second film is almost phenomenal. They really put in time to create a good script from this one. Now they are working on a fourth one and I'm worried they will go back to mediocrity

Oh wow that's great to hear actually. I was a big fan of the first movie and was really disappointed by the second, so I guess maybe now I'll actually give the third one a try

Oh, wow, that's great to hear, actually. I was a big fan of the first movie and was really disappointed by the second, so I guess maybe now I'll actually give the third one a try

The third film is totally ŵorth your time if you loved the first, trust me. The scripting for this one was meticulous. It starts with a bang, then slows down enough to allow even newcomers to understand the plot, and then the climax goes wild. Nothing is predictable, and every small detail builds onto the final twist that I just couldn't resist. I totally agree that this one should compete at the Oscars next year
