two great movies, though i went for the prestige a bit more than the illusionist...

the truth is i can't really remember either of these movies and intend to see them again soon

however the prestige hits me as bein the one i really want to see. BOTH had nice endins though....

i like pizza

I liked The Prestige better. The Illusionist was okay but it had Jessica Biel in it so...

Prestige was definitely good. I don't remember seeing Illusionist

Prestige was good, The Illusionist was okay (I liked the animated film with same title better),
& pizza is probably the best of 'em all.

I mean, y'know.....

in my opinion.

I liked them both. Sometimes I do mix them up. I'd own them both.

And I agree with Visionnaire the animated film of the same name was surprising very good.

I liked The Prestige, didn't pick the ending at all, wasn't too sure where it was going when they introduced Telsa, as I had only known of him from electrical and magnetic theory at uni.

Always seemed strange to me that Hollywood would release two films so similar around the same time.

Intellectually the Prestige was a better movie but I prefer the Illusionist. Besides, once you know how the Prestige ends it loses much of its appeal. Also I prefer Jessica Biel over Scarlett Johansson

I like them both. "The Prestige" is definitely the better film imo.

i loved the illusionist, haven't seen the prestige....

Both movies can be summed up with "Now you see them, now you don't!"

I liked them both quite a bit.

I remember the Prestige a lot better. The premise was a little more ridiculous, but still very enjoyable.

I don't remember liking one any more than the other. Even though one had Scarlett Johansson in it. The Prestige was indeed more far-fetched.

that was a hellova thang wasn't it

the hookup with bale and jackman was cool

and norton was cool with the detective guy

but the draw for me was imaginin norton and bale

or jackman and norton in varyin parts.

i would imagine the illusionist as bein a classic at some point

rather than the prestige... i still liked the prestige best though...
