I haven’t seen the Illusionist yet, so this is not going to be a comparison.
Anyways, I liked the ending of the movie. Although if you’re quick, you probably could have figured some of the twists beforehand. Nonetheless, I liked the storyline and recommend this movie. However, I don’t think it’s something you can watch more than once.

Mark told me in a comment on my review of The Illusionist that if I enjoyed it, I would love The Prestige. He was right. It’s a must see. A little pat on the back for myself… After watching this movie, I was able to make my DVD remote disappear for a full 30 minutes, prompting a late-night couch sweep. After giving up, it reappeared magically in my shoe that I had taken off during the movie. Very cool.

Let me know what powers you get after watching the movie. I think I’m going to go watch Smallville next. The whole flying thing is appealing…

Twist comes too little too late. Boredom has set in. Clones and twins. Bah! There’s a glimpse of great acting – when Patrick Bateman shone through, but Logan’s unusually dull. Scarlett Jo – sexiest woman alive, according to some magazines, provides little or no interest (strangely enough), and I don’t know why. Maybe because her accent isn’t believable? And upon realising that, you might start to think that all she’s really good for is being cute.

Christ.

2006 was a year of magicians at the movies. Go see The Illusionist instead.

Seen it in Rome on Ney Year’s eve with my girlfriend and another couple. When Michael Caine shows the dead bird, the other girl grabs my arm, I see her jaw drop like a Warner Bros cartoon, and then she asks me if he REALLY killed the bird. She couldn’t believe her eyes, she almost began to cry! ^__

Dark and sad movie about revenge and obsession. I was planning to skip this one due to Scarlett Johansson, but I’m glad I saw this. Christian Bale was great as usual.

It was like a soap opera. Every five minutes a new twin or clone or man who wasn’t really who you thought it was popped up. Even as a fan of fantasy, I found myself saying “come on already!” more than anything else!

It was entertaining but I thought The Illusionist was better. The twist and turns were more predictable in The Prestige and where did the twin come from?

I saw this movie because we missed the movie we wanted to see. We thought it was great and it was a movie we both thoroughly enjoyed which is even better. Most of the twists you could see coming but they surprise you. It was executed beautifully and is really just an entertaining movie.

Well, maybe that’s going a LITTLE far, but it was damn good. I definitly guessed a couple of the twists, but I think the great thing about this movie is that there’s so many!

David Bowie was a little over the top as Tesla, but, I think that was intentional. Other than that, the acting was fantastic (I’m not a huge fan of Christian Bale myself, but he carried the part off fantasticly), and even though the storyline gets a little far fetched at the end, it’s still worth every cent.

If you liked this, you might also like “The Game” (at least, that’s what it reminded me of, and the game is definitely one of my all time favourite movies)

The “twists” were pretty obvious from about 40 minutes from the end, so that’s never a great sign, and one of the twists was really pretty stupid, but the acting was good and the movie was quite fun overall, so I can’t complain. It entertained me for the full length of the film
