Great movie

Rating: 9/10 (2 November 2006)

The Prestige is a movie done by the same man who did Memento and batman begins. It is a moderately dark tale of two magicians. I left the movie talking with friends about the intricate plot. Hugh Jackman and Christian bale play their roles superbly. The only fault is the characters not being particularly likable.However you forgive the writers towards the end. Hugh Jackman is very different from his role as wolverine. Anyone who has read the book by Christopher priest would not enjoy it as much. However the book presents an interesting viewpoint to the movie. David Bowie and Andy Serkis are funny. Andy Serkis longs for that cod piece so well known as Gollum's own. This movie i enjoyed because it is a clever roller-coaster ride of emotions. you feel great disgust for Hugh Jackman's character at the end. Him killing himself each night is a fantastic twist and the end part where you see the large amount of boxes filled with Hugh Jackman's body and Michael Caine's narration is fantastic. I felt that Hugh Jackman would be the good guy. And was surprised when he was evil
