without wanting to be too blunt: fuck off
the prestige is far superior. Remove your bias towards Ed Norton from the equation.

she is merely quite pretty.

Seen Iron Man 2?
She is fucking stonking.

There's something about her nose which doesn't quite work.
She's not unattractive, I just don't see why she's as highly regarded as she is.

I haven't seen it so am prepared to review my opinion
she just doesn't do it for me, so find it hard to see how people can get so worked up over her

she has a very fifties look which is nice
she's married to Ryan Reynolds now though. He's fit.

AND he's the perfect choice to play Dead Pool
So long as they do it properly, not that abortion at the end of Wolverine. *seethes*

she does have a fifties look
she looks at her best in that advert chompy mentions, but still doesn't push my buttons.

In certain ways I agree with you, sometimes she looks a bit mousey.
But in that channel advert and in Iron man 2... .... ... lost my train of thought for a minute there.

she sucks in it
and her character was pointless.

Fuck that
The Prestige was overrated in the extreme. Even removing Ed Norton from it, I enjoyed it more. And with the addition of Ed Norton, well.

Edit: though I will admit I was ill when I saw The Prestige. Maybe it'll benefit from a rewatch

give the book a read as well
and do it before you rewatch the film
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 23 Jul 2010, 16:49, Reply)

the book is probably better
but I remember being thoroughly disappointed by the cop-out of the film's ending and the final reveal. It would have been so much cleverer if it had been rationalised
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Fri 23 Jul 2010, 17:00, Reply)

there's kind of two parts to the ending
the christian bale one is much better executed in the film than the hugh jackman one
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 23 Jul 2010, 17:10, Reply)

well Christian Bale is better
than Hugh Jackman so fair enough. I was talking more about the carefulness of how the illusion was unwound in the Illusionist, as compared to how it remained with a supernatural emphasis in the Prestige
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Fri 23 Jul 2010, 17:12, Reply)

it's less supernatural and more "he's got a machine from a brilliant scientist that is supposed to teleport you, but actually duplicates you"
the build up to it, and the actual reveal were quite well handled I thought.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 23 Jul 2010, 17:14, Reply)

but the fact is
that science is almost as far from us, as it was from the time of the film. So while not supernatural, it was a really lazy way out of a film that was so much about magic and the power of illusion and tricks
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Fri 23 Jul 2010, 17:20, Reply)

I get your point
but that's in the book as well
