The Prestige vs The Illusionist

True

It was simply to convoluted. For instance, I knew some things were coming before they did but the later twists & turns left me perplexed

The site also said it cost $ 40 million to make. I find that hard to believe as the 4 top actors had to command that in salary

I haven't seen The Illusionist, but I really liked The Prestige. Christian Bale was wonderful. I was also very impressed by the actress who portrayed his wife. Scarlett, though, did nothing for me in this role.

Prestige all the way!

Both were good but The Prestige was too convoluted for its own good

I really enjoyed The Prestige, but the ending took away from the film in my opinion.

I recently saw both of these.

I'll be brief.

I thought The Prestige was intoxicating and intellectually stimulating. Did it always work? I don't know. But I was intrigued the whole time and want to see it again desperately. And I'll probably see it many times after that. Superb performances, too

I thought The Illusionist had potential, but I also thought it was entirely too predicatable and not nearly ambitious enough. Good performances, but it left me unimpressed.

DG, see The Prestige.

You may very well find it ridiculous, but it still brings up some very stimulating questions. And, whether you want to or not, I believe you will find it very entertaining.

Although, I should saw that I watched it with my younger sister and mom and they both di not enjoy it at all and did not finish it with me.

Haven't seen "The Illusionist," but my favorite part of "The Prestige" was the ending. I was actually a bit put off with the film until the ending, and it's one of those movies I didn't really know what to think at the time, but in hindsight I really liked it... will definitely see it again.
