    How was this a movie people watched. The first one was kinda fun. The second was so bad people forgot about who even played in it.

    None of those statements are questions.

      Because people are compelled to see a story through. How many times have you watched a bad series until the end because you were too invested?

          Corporate Stockholm Syndrome and a clear lack in media literacy.

          Honestly just gonna block the incessant Hollywood bootlickers that just mindlessly parrot business propaganda.

    It’s a curious franchise. I know I watched the first two movies, and I was entertained. I remember the theme, but I can’t remember the plot at all. It’s all blank in my brain.

      I just remember that the illusions in the second one were so absurd that there’s no way they could have been done live, much less in front of groups of people. When the basic premise of a movie doesn’t work then the whole thing ends up being cringeworthy.
