The Prestige

The trailers made it seem a lot different than it actually is 😬

But I like the real version better anyhow 😄

A very different kind of Nolan. However, I thought it was good, nothing more, nothing less.

Memento
Batman Begins
The Prestige
Following
Insomnia

Great movie, pretty predictable though. I figured out (and so did my kid brother who tagged along) the "twist" out as soon as bloody finger scene. But I heard a lot of people trying to explain to their dumber counter parts how Jackmans act worked (and that was pretty cut and dry obvious) in the lobby after the movie... so I guess the majority of people weren't able to piece it together *shrugs* Great movie though, easily worth the $10 ticket... I might even see it once more in theaters.

And Memento sucked hard.

I loved it. I thought it was a "smart" movie. Not meaning that the movie was clevr, which it was, but that it was meant to be seen by actual smart people. Not too many movies like this out there anymore. I give it a 9/10

I predicted the twists very early on, but I still loved the film. Equal to the quality of The Illusionist, yet more entertaining.

It looks like a pretty decent movie but I don't know if I'll be seeing it in theater. I might rent it.

Alright, no need to explain anything to me. I read up a tiny bit and all the little things that were unclear now make sense.

Great movie though. I'll definitely be buying it.

This was an AMAZING movie. Just got home from seeing it, it was well over two hours long.

There were a few things I predicted in the end that wasnt actually true. The ending was so shocking though. I would have never thought of that.

Definitely Christian Bale's best movie to this day. Hugh Jackman was magnificent also, both of there acting gets two thumbs up.

Definitely see this movie. 9/10

Yay I'm glad every single person who has seen it in this thread loved it. I can't wait until 10th November now even more!

Haven't seen American Psycho, huh? 😉

American Psycho was okay. I'd probably agree that this was Bale's best serious effort to date, considering American Psycho was practically a comedy.

I have to say a lot of the twists were predictible, however I dont think anyone saw the last twist coming 😬

The movie was good; I expected maybe a bit more, but I give it 3 out of 4 stars.

I predicted about one fourth of the ending, but most of it was so shocking and amazing. The movie was long, but it was totally worth it to see the ending.

I have to go see this again, its one of those movies that you just have to see twice, or maybe even a third time.

Now that I know the ending I have to go back and say "ohhhhhh" in some of the scenes I was confused about before.

Spoiler:
All you have to do is notice "why the **** hasn't this guy said a word the entire movie". Also, why did Bale get all scared when Jackman burried his brother? How do they do the Transportation trick? And to top it all off, the quote from Scarlett "he just has an assistant to do the trick, I saw all of the make up, the wigs..". Something along those lines.

So if you're actually watching closely, it's pretty easy to figure out. I gave it a ***½/*****. It's still a lot of fun.

Spoiler:
Yeah he was suspicious but you knew he was his twin brother? He could have been a look a like, a clone or anything else. When I was in the theatre every single person was shocked to learn that Borden had a twin.

I just dont see how people saw this, even with those things you mentioned.

Spoiler:
Why would Bale care if his twin was buried alive? Jackman drowned his clones many times, he couldn't care less. Thus, I knew the guy looked just like him and that Bale cared for him. Leaving only one option left, he has a twin.

Spoiler:
To me that was something I had to go back and picture in my mind after they revealed he was his twin, which was at the end of the movie. Im looking at those things also but if I just seen those parts I would have never guessed he was his twin. Someone he cared about? yeah, it seems like they were quite the entourage(Olivia, Fallon, and Borden).

Spoiler:
If you think about it, the whole movie is one big magic trick, involving the pledge, the turn and the prestige.

Bordens- Pledge- At the start of the movie, it is his voice that asks "Are you watching closely." The Turn was his death (remember him saying "abracadabra" on the gallows?), and the Prestige was his "coming back to life" via the shocking revelation that he had a twin.

Tricky huh? There's more.

Spoiler:
Angiers- Pledge: to do the trick better than Borden. Turn: HIS death. Prestige: coming back to life via the shocking revelation that his clone had died, not him.
