They tricked me

Rating: 3/10 (16 November 2008)

The trick was that the trailer was much better than the movie itself. The trailer promised, but the film failed to deliver. Completely failed to deliver. Anything at all for that matter... It's like when you unwrap a beautifully packed present and find nothing. That is what I felt throughout the movie. Nothing.
Under the beautifully done trailer I found a film that lacks passion, emotion, dialog and a decent story line. That is not the kind of illusion I'd expected...
I do not understand why this movie was made at all and even less do I understand why it was praised. It is empty and bland, though may seem like a nice fairytale for 10 year old girls.
Another thing I wanted to mention was Edward Norton. Although I'd rather not...But I just can't close my eyes on it. The actor has potential, the actor has talent. WHY did he chose this project? WHY is he choosing to waste it on mass oriented flicks like Hulk, Pride and Glory and the Illusionist?? I thought more of him and it hurts to be disappointed.
Overall, this movie is not horrible, if you have absolutely nothing else to do it's watchable, but other than that...not even worth talking about.
