The Illusionist 2006

Tiny bit predictable at some point but still pure pleasure to watch.

A long movie with lots of great illusions and good acting but the storyline wasn't convincing or enthralling.

Just an illusion!
What an illusion! Where's my time? My fuckin' time! Give me back my time!
This is a shit, not a film. Honestly, and - even if it doesn't seem - kindly, N.

As much as I hate to admit it, they got me. Didn't see it coming. Will leave it at that so this doesn't become a plot spoiler. I thought the acting was fair and kind of sporadic. Ed Norton at times seemed a little too stiff. I know he was trying to portray a stoic magician but the only other turn of the century illusionist I know is Harry Houdini and I've seen footage of him performing, and he was nothing like that for all those who say Ed was acting appropriate for the time period. However, he is believable which is all you can ask. Paul Giamatti steals the show. His performance was solid, and you can feel the trichotomy in him between his allegiance to the prince and his duty as chief inspector and the burning curiosity to know how the tricks are performed. This movie is very entertaining and I do recommend it.

Great movie, but it reminded me of The Prestige too much, which i liked better.

Un Norton impeccable pour un film correct qui sait nous entraîner dans son univers malgré quelques défauts et scènes trop prévisibles. 

This movie is pretty much The Prestige without everything that made the Prestige a masterpiece.

story and acting isn't great. The plot is also too predictable for this type of movie as you realize everything way before it is revealed.

The Illusionist is a movie that will leave you mesmerized with its unique and intriguing plot. The film weaves a spellbinding tale that will keep you interested, as you try to piece together the clues and unravel the mystery. The acting in the film is also top-notch, with strong performances that bring the characters to life and add to the overall enjoyment of the movie. It's a good watch if you're looking for a film that will transport you into a world of magic and mystery.

Stumbled across this on our S**t Film Saturday (we just put a random film on) It did become watchable and kept our attention. Some very good acting throughout. Good plot twists but became predicable towards the end.

It has a little mystery from the beginning until the end but the problem is its level is not going high or down never. It causes your excitement is going away. And I think the end has not enough explanation, so it is going to my average movie rank.

Boring, neat ending well wrapped up ending.

Great flm. When you spend so much time watching some absolute tosh with the latest movies going back a few years to watch the ones you missed is truly worthwhile.

So much similar to "The Prestige" and I kinda checked, they almost released back-to-back :D
