ktlady picked The Prestige - starring Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman etc:
I saw both and liked both. Both had awesome twists... but I just didn't find the romance in The Illusionist to be believable.

roundabouts picked The Prestige - starring Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman etc:
they were both ok films, but i just think Bale is ace. this film was more gritty for me which i like. although Giamatti is sooo cool

by far the prestige! it was an experienced i've never felt before in the movies... u never saw that endig coming...really brilliant...actors,script,scenery... i would agree with one critic ''the minute it finishes,you want to watch it again...'' and with roundabouts... Christian bale IS ace....one of my favs...
i wasnt so impressed with the illusionist

I just like Edward Norton as an actor which makes it maximizes how much I actually like it, I recently saw the prestige and enjoyed it as well.

I can't stand Paul Giamantti...and also, the Illusionist was way to predictable. Why would that horse still be riding away in the right direction if she were dead? Seriously

the prestige in all honesty was pretty close to terrible. the smarter it tried ti get the dumber it got. the illusionist was a cinematic acheivment. it was not predictable and interesting the whole way. where they prestige was good for five minutes.

The Prestige was just awful. The Illusionist had dramatic flare and a thrilling plot. No contest.

They were both good, but with the Illusionist, I saw the end coming. The Prestige was too strange to be predictable.

Jillywinkles picked The Illusionist - starring Ed Norton and Jessica Biel:
Everyone kept telling me how great the Prestige was, but when I finally saw it, I wasn't impressed. It felt way too long, the whole plot was convoluted, and the "twist" at the end was not believable.

Mizrahi_sWifey picked The Illusionist - starring Ed Norton and Jessica Biel:
They were both great movies but the Illusionist kept you guessing and there were more suspense moments. I like Hugh Jackman and Ed Norton equally well... hard to choose. Gotta give Michael Caine a hand though, he had a great part.

blind_moon picked The Prestige - starring Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman etc:
I loove both stories! I love the actors, they had one of the best performances! The both had a loot of questioning! They are both on my top... But Prestige had a more surprise ending, I was kind of guessing the end of the illusionist, the prestige just took me of surprise! Great Films anyway!

wildcats13 picked The Prestige - starring Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman etc:
They were both incredibly awsome!!! I loved the romance in "The Illusionist" and then ending was marvelous! I guess I'm just dumb, but b/c I totally did not see it coming. The music was amazing 2! I think "The Prestige" had a lot more story to it, and though it was harder to follow, it was a better movie all around.

I didn't like the Prestige at all. It has all the elements I would normally like in a movie, length, intelligence, twists, Christian Bale...but the Illusionist was much more interesting to me, and I really liked how they set it all up.

I found the Prestige long, boring, and hard to understand

The illusionist was so original and I didn't truly know what was going to happen, like in a lot of movies nowadays

irishpapelbon58 picked The Illusionist - starring Ed Norton and Jessica Biel:
Edward Norton is an amazing actor & incredibly beautiful, & he shines in this film. He makes everything so believable & the love story is so sweet (especially the locket). He's such an acting chamelion. It's amazing to watch him preform. The ending was such a shocker & i love films that can pull my feet out from under me like that.

the prestige was such an interesting movie, it had awesome plot and was a really interesting look at how far people will go and what they're willing to do. but i thought the ending was kind of silly, i mean hugh jackman had a cloning machine. thats kind of ridiculous... and the illusionist was just so cute and i thought the plot was a lot better put together. also i'm a sucker for romances from childhood :P

The two movies were done very well and the tricks were state of the art, but I choose The Illusionist because I was more entertained in a good way than The Prestige, don't get me wrong I liked it, but it was too dark despite having David Bowie in it!
