Illusionist or Prestige?

[Iamspartacus]

Only seen Illusionist and it wasn't bad. However, Prestige came out about the same time and seems to be similar. Which one is better in other people's opinions?

The prestige was more interesting to me while the Illusionist seemed more like an afterthought.

Jessica Biel is in the Illusionist, so you might have to get both.

Enjoy.

I prefer The Prestige. It is my favorite Nolan film.

[Tom Hiddleston]

I have not seen either, so no comment.

Illusionist for me.

Prestige

Prestige is louder and more in your face. It has a higher rating on IMDB. Illusionist was a little more subdued but also a good movie- and I love Edward Norton. See them both! I think this topic has been discussed before.

I didn't really care for either one but I've been meaning to give them both another look.

[Donat96]

I like The Prestige more.

I like the Illusionist best, but both are good.

Prestige.....Christopher Nolan enough said

[Samus Aran]

The Prestige is the big budget spectacle while The Illusionist is the quieter, smaller-budget movie. But they're about different things and go in their own direction. Jessica Biel, however, is a pretty weak actress.

The Prestige trailer was misleading though, since it made it look like an illusionist competing with someone who actually knows real magic.

Since Uncharted is being directed by Neil Burger, I'm surprised there aren't any "Norton as Drake, Biel as Elena, Giamatti as Sully, Sewell as Flynn" posts.

Prestige, although to be fair, I need to see Illusionist again.

I liked both. The Prestige was the only one of the two I liked enough to buy though.

Isn't your post a "comment" by being typed?

Prestige for me.

I do need to watch The Illusionist again though.
