    There were two period-piece magician movies in 2006: 'The Illusionist' and 'The Prestige'. The latter being the superior. 'Prestige' is about obsession and rivalry and is presented in non-linear story-telling, like other Nolan films such as 'Memento' and the first part of 'Batman Begins'. This keeps the audience guessing as there are many twists, quite appropriate for a film about illusion. Most of the main cast members put on accents but they do so expertly. Bale and Jackman were superb.

    An innovative, twisting, turning art film...Bale and Jackman gave equally good performances, although the characters they portrayed in itself were not to well adapted,...remove their obsessions, and the two magicians have rather little personality...however my praises do go out to David Bowie in his portrayal of Nikola Tesla...

    Not bad but I felt a bit let down by it considering the Nolan/Bale combo. Unfortunately I guessed all of the twists to early. Also, I'm afraid the British accents by Bale and Johansson were laughably stereotypical. Still it looked good and I can imagine that teenagers would really love this kind of thing. I'm only 25 but it was all abit unsatisfying. Good performances by Bowie, Cane and surprisingly Jackman

    This movie was great. Biased because Bale is among my fav. actors, but the Twists and story in this movie are fantastic.

    (2006 Director: Christopher Nolan!) Hugh Jackman, Scarlett Johansen, Chrisian Bale, Michael Caine AND DAVID BOWIE!! WHAT A CAST!! I WANT TO SEE THIS MOVIE! My son says it is dumb! LOL but..I hope for a bit more than The Illusionist (no offense to the wonderful cast of that movie) Watched his movie today (New Year's) in parts. It seemed kind of long but enjoyed it. I thought it was rather oriiginal. I liked the historical aspect & the setting oin likely what the late 1800"s (there was electriicity invented obviously)

    I donno. I enjoyed it, but the last 45 minutes to an hour of the movie was far too predictable. However, it was still enjoyable. I saw it in theaters, and i recommend watching it on the biggest tv you can find.
