MCT:May 15, 2008Edward Norton is really good but the storyline is just another chick flick in the end. Not properly explained, this film leaves you expecting more. The storyline wasn't fantastic to begin with, mind. An interesting topic that simply wasn't handled well from a writer's perspective.

I really like Paul Giamatti, Edward Norton, and Jessica Biel, so I might be a bit biased. But these actors are the main reason to see this movie; the visual's pretty impressive too. I think you don't even have to know what the plot twist is to enjoy this movie. I didn't and I liked it a lot.

Never have I seen a cast so tripped up by foreign accents. Norton didn't try hard enough, basically phoning in his emotional spectrum, while Giamatti seemed to try too hard. I don't care much for Jessica Biel either way; she neither repulsed nor impressed me...which actually kinda repulses me.

MCT:May 13, 2008I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. And while I did kind of predict the outcome, it was still an excellent movie and I still sat through the whole thing. I was also surprised that I didn't hate Jessica Biel's performance.

MCT:May 12, 2008The story line was unexpected and extremely clever. Edward Norton was amazing. He is in all his movies, but this one is definately right up there. Cast was great, some really good actors. Very sweet and romantic. I cryed on more than one occasion.

The twist at the end it's a bit predictable but the rest of the movie is really original and a true love story. If you haven't seen it yet, you really should rent it/ buy it/or something else, just see it!!!!

Excellent! The ending was unexpected to me... what I really thought was that the actress could never die that way without an espectacular reappearence.
Esta película es una de las mejores... la duquesa no podia morir de esa forma sin hacer una espectacular reaparicion como la vista en este drama. La actuación y la ambientación de todo el escenario fue único. Cinco estrellas bien ganadas.posted 202 days ago -
Really amazing what makes it so great is that you could never guess the ending. The "magic" aspect is also great

I thought this was an excellent movie! I borrowed it off my mums friend, who also said i should watch the prestige coz its better. I havent watched the prestige yet, but i thought the illisionist was so much better than i thought it was gunna be. I loved it. I didnt suspect that he'd set it all up til near the end. I loooooved it :)

This movie was totally better than The Prestige. The Prestige at times felt rushed and the performances forced. The Illusionist was much less confusing, way better looking (this has got to be, visually, one of the best movies ever), and much more touching and heartfelt than The Prestige.
And don't worry- I have seen both.posted 333 days ago
