I have seen it before but its always been the Nolan film I tend to overlook - however it might be one of his best. 9/10.

I was little dissapointed... It being Nolan movie and all.
I don't say it wasn't in somewhat interesting (oh yes there is but coming), but, once you get the hang of their game you see the whole movie already.
I didn't find it suprising... And I didn't like the way they broke the idea of illusion.

Best Nolan film. Great plot twist in the end and perfect casting.

It's a puzzle movie I didn't care enough to solve, but did anyway.

Above average movie if you compare to Hollywood movies, below average if you compare with artistic movies..

I like the movie but the scif fi ending ruined it for me. I suspected the whole thing was a bluff, in the sense that magicians want us to believe they can do real magic but it's all a trick... guess not.

Sorry but, I saw the twist very early in the movie so I didn't enjoy that well, but any way, a good movie.

This is a movie I didn't want to end. It happens very rarely.

Dueling Edwardian magicians (Wolverine vs. Batman), Nicola Tesla, based on a Christopher Priest novel... Should be awesome, right? I thought it was only okay. If you're paying attention, Nolan basically tells you from the outset how the film will be structured, which means you shouldn't trust anything you see, which means it's all much more predictable than it pretends to be. I won't claim I guess everything, but I at least knew what NOT to trust, so the closing revelations weren't particularly shocking. I did like the focus on stage craft and magical tradition, but the sci-fi element that probably worked in Priest's book, doesn't in the context of the film. It feels out of place. So while I can see why someone would watch it twice, the second with solutions in hand, I'm not sure a third viewing would be warranted. It's a little too obvious for that.

Can I just say that this film is a mind f#$%, in a good way of course.

I was not unsatisfied or disappointed with the reveal at the end at all. It was the bit of hocus pocus before the end that took away from my experience watching this film. For that reason, an 8.5/10 instead of a 9.

It's one of Christian Bale's better movies ... he's always a hit or a miss but since Hugh Jackman was in it, I took the plunge. It's good. Not amazing, but good nonetheless. Original, too, and it keeps you guessing.
I haven't read the book it was based on but the movie on its own was fun to watch.
