Well worth the money

Rating: 8/10 (21 August 2006)

Just saw the movie and thought it was great! This is certainly one of the better films I have seen in a long time. It was: entertaining, artistic, and romantic. That is a combination any (woman, at least) should enjoy.
In case anyone doesn't know- the story revolves around Eisenheim (Norton) and Sophie (Jessica Biel). Much criticism has been made about the acting, and while Giamatti probably had the best performance (minus the mustache), I really found Norton and Biel believable (and I was pretty critical of the casting of Biel in a lead role).
I had read that the ending was "predictable" before watching, but was still entertained nonetheless because the story unfolds to make one question what the heck is going on. That said, the not so quick film watcher may not understand the ending (my friend was left confused although I found it pretty clear). All in all, I found the movie entertaining and would definitely recommend!
