The Illusionist
« on: March 18, 2008, 05:45:05 AM »
I watched it this weekend, thought it was great. It was compared to the Prestige quite a bit when it came out, which I watched this weekend as well. Both were good, Illusionist was better imo, with better "illusions" to boot. Which did you guys prefer?

I thought the Prestige was much better. The rivalry between the magicians made it more interesting.

The Prestige was much better imo.

The twist at the end with the twin brothers was pretty cool.

Prestige hands down.  The illusionist was good but not THAT good.

Both are awesome.  I'll go with The Illusionist, it had a happy ending.  ;D

Yeah, the twin thing was pretty cool. But Edward Norton was awesome as Eisenheimer, plus he had way better tricks. Both movies were good though, not sure why I waited so long to see them.
