Master’s Trick 3 hits theaters with the highest score in the saga

The Brazilian public can finally check out Trick of the Master: The 3rd Act, which premieres this Thursday (13) in cinemas. The new chapter in the franchise arrives surrounded by expectation, not because of acclaim, but because of a curious detail: even without completely exciting critics, the film has already achieved the highest score in the series on Rotten Tomatoes, surpassing the previous two. For a franchise that has always divided opinions, this small advance already attracts attention.

Since 2013, Trick of Master has built its identity by mixing action, mystery and grandiose tricks. The original was a success with the public, but never shined among critics. The sequel, released in 2016, fell further in ratings, although it maintained the appeal of the characters and the aesthetic of criminal magicians. Now, almost a decade later, the third chapter tries to catch its breath and prove that there is still an audience for the Knights’ adventures.

The new film introduces a new generation of illusionists and brings back classic elements of the franchise, with constant twists, disputes between con artists and tricks that defy logic. Even without reaching a consensus among critics, the score for The 3rd Act indicates that the film at least managed to deliver a more consistent show than its predecessors, something that already excites fans and onlookers.

Master’s Trick 3 made history

When we analyze the franchise’s scores, the jump becomes even clearer. The first Master’s Trick registered 51% on Rotten Tomatoes, while the sequel plummeted to 34%. Now, The 3rd Act appears with 59%, easily taking the position of best rated in the series. It’s not exactly a high rate for the genre, but it represents a significant turning point in the franchise’s history.

The release also marks the return of a series that, despite criticism, has always achieved good box office numbers around the world. With such a long gap between films and new giant productions debuting every week, this premiere gains even more prominence on the calendar.

Starting this Thursday, fans will be able to judge for themselves whether Master’s Trick: The 3rd Act really deserves the title of best rated in the franchise or whether the magic has lost some of its shine.
