Movie Review: The Illusionist

Summary: Half love story, half fanciful magic performances.

Rating: 7.0 out of 10

Review: It's hard not to compare this to The Prestige. This one was not as good. The magic was almost completely CG (computer graphics). There was very little "real" magic. This was disappointing compared to The Prestige, where almost all the tricked were plausible. So, if you can handle the completely faked "illusions" and the constant love struggle, you will probably enjoy The Illusionist. Just don't watch it after watching The Prestige.
