Excellent

Rating: 10/10 (22 April 2012)

Owning many DVD's, I find I watch the Illusionist many times. If I could only take 3 movies from my home this would be one of them. The actors were wonderful. The story is funny, exciting, and mystical. Not a high budget film still came across with beautiful scenery. I enjoyed the magic and wanted to know what was actual and what CG. I find watching over again things I missed the first many times that I had watched it. I really enjoy a film that entertains and yet makes me think. The added feature of making the film helps the knowledge that the location and research pre-production makes the time frame very authentic. This will indeed be a classic and I will continue to keep in my library for watching yet again.
