Enchanting movie, great entertainment

Rating: 10/10 (28 September 2006)

This was absolutely charming. It is rare to see a movie with a completely different plot. So many times you can almost write the content as it is a re-hash of an earlier plot and it all seems vaguely familiar. Not so with "The Illusionist" This is one you cannot predict. I went in a party of 5. All 5 of us were truly surprised at how really great the movie was. Pure entertainment. This is one of those rare movies I am willing to see again in the same week. Hollywood should make more movies like this. I was also impressed with the cinematography and the ability to take one back in time to the 19th century. Edward Norton is a modern day Laurence Olivier
