Another 11 year old movie
that I didn’t catch when it first came out but decided to give it a shot, thus
wrapping up my magician themed movie watching marathon.
What I liked about The
Illusionist was the acting and the plot twist toward the end. What I didn’t
like were the costumes, most of my distaste was for Edward Norton’s ridiculous
mustache. There also felt to be a lack of necessary character development
earlier on in the movie, which made it difficult for me to really connect and feel
engaged with leads in this film.
Additionally, the ending was cliched; the way
it was wrapped up in a pretty little bow. It definitely lacked the desired climax
that I was hoping for. All in all, it wasn’t a complete waste of time but
definitely not a movie that I would seek to see again.
