Must see movie: The Illusionist

[greyshep]

I far preferred the Illusionist.

I found the Prestige somewhat cold. Basically two guys having a pissing match for 2 hours. Yay.

Maybe I was a bit jaded going in as I was speaking with a friend about the Illusionist and he told me the Prestige was even better. Regardless, I still think I would prefer the Illusionist even without the preconceived notions.

Illusionist had simple magic for the ending, while the "illusions" were completely unexplained

I'll take a stab and say both the orange tree and the dead people one were done by Holography

Yeah. The Hulk sucked. This is a bad idea and I think Ed Norton probably should have chucked this one away IMO.

I like Norton but I think his best movies are behind him.. I found this movie, while good, very predictable. It seemed like they were trying to twist just to twist, then when the big twist came at the end I was like wtf? That is wha I was expecting, along with everyone else I talked to about the movie. Good movies keep you guessing and then go a totally different direction.

I'll have to watch for The Illusionist, definitely one that I noted when it was released, but never got around to seeing it. I enjoyed The Prestige a lot, but mostly because it featured one of my favorite singers playing one of my favorite historical figures. Ending of the film felt a bit hollow, though.
