Horrible Except For

Rating: 4/10 (11 March 2007)

This has to be the year's worst film. An utter discombobulated mess. The acting hear is so bad it is mind-boggling. Michael Caine turns in perhaps his worst performance as some sort of wizard or something to that effect. Christian Bale is equally putrid in his role as one of the feuding magicians, this film makes absolutely no sense and its shocking failure is augmented pathetically by worst of all, Hugh Jackman. A clearly homosexual man being tormented by his crushing demons, he can't seem to get his mind focused for a second on his role as the second feuding magician. Christopher Nolan once again proves to be one of the worst and gratuitously artsy directors. This film fails miserably as anything but a pure pile of rubbish. Michael Caine has completely tarnished his legacy with another unfocused, unnecessary role. One bright spot is Scarlett Johansson however lifting this film all the way to a 4 from a 1 with her sheer beauty and pure excellence, reaffirming her status as the world's most talented actress.
