the illusionist

We just watched it last night! I never expected the ending at all. I think that I was to caught up in the fact that she "died" already. It is so fabulous! Is it better than The Prestige?

We just watched it today. I liked The Prestige much much better. I found this to be a bit too predictable.

I guess I will have to rent The Prestige then. I didn't think this one was predictible at all. Maybe my brain is smaller than most

Wow I just realized how snarky I sounded! I apologize!! I just prefer The Prestige over The Illusionist!

I think the Illusionist character does a good job of 'selling' in his act. You think she must be alive, but then you see his reactions and his grief looks real. So, you think maybe you are wrong. You don't find out for sure what has happened and (the bigger question, just how) until the end.

I also saw the Prestige and think if you liked this, you will like that. It was very good, but is a 'darker' movie.

Just finished watching, and I admit it was pretty good. I figured the twist, it was a little obvious, especially after this thread but still entertaining. One thing that really impressed me was the lack of vulgar language! Guess I need to stick to period pieces to avoid the "$2 words" as my mother called them. Even with the PG-13 rating I would have let my girls watch this, older one started, but got bored because Raven wasn't in it!

I just finished watching it and really enjoyed the movie. I like movies from this time period.

I enjoyed it but it was too predictable, imho.
