It's Great but it's Terrible. Prestigious but Ludicrous...

Rating: 5/10 (1 April 2020)

Spoiler Alert - The Movie with a capital M looks, sounds & feels classic & real in that England late 1890s kinda way. Killer cast - Bale, Jackman, Johanssen, Caine etc...The cinematography, the acting, top notch. So what's the problem? The problem is that this serious, 'artistic' movie about antagonistic magicians hinges at the end on a Cloning Machine created by Nicola Tesla in Colorado & shipped over to London somehow & the other character is actually Twins!!! Lol, that's alot to swallow in the last 5 minutes that undoes much of the good value of the previous 2 hours...But judging by all the 10s given & cheers for Nolan as a director, I guess most people overlook those small factoids, lol...I'd like to but can't, thus a 5 rating...
