Disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (27 October 2006)

I am a huge Hugh Jackman fan. And I love movies with intrigue, magic, supernatural. I am also a big fan of Christian Bale after Batman Begins.
Having these two people in a movie and watching the incredible previews. I went to the movie expecting it to be FANTASTIC. Although the movie was composed fantastically and the actors were pretty good. The movie seemed too long and I kept waiting for it to end. I get that it was all about obsession but come on with great actors and an even greater director you expect a lot more.
Micheal Caine was the saving grace. Also since I don't know much about magic it was interesting to see the kind of engineering and physics it requires. It was disappointing on the whole.
