A poor man's The Prestige

Seems like a completely different kind of movie so far, aside from the obvious similarity

Obvious similarities are my wheelhouse.

It's also hard not to compare those two movies to Now You See Me (2013), which I haven't seen.

I've heard that movie is a complete joke from multiple trustworthy sources. I refuse to watch it. There's also some outrage that the sequel wasn't called "Now You Don't", that I'm on board with.

Man, I'm not picking up on any chemistry at all between Biel and Norton. Sex scenes are so awkward with no chemistry.

War for the Planet of the Apes

Saw it in the cinema, this will be the second time.

The Illusionist is a bad movie. Predictable, cheap, and boring.

That’s harsh.

But fair

Don’t agree.

I mean, no character had any depth whatsoever so the good actors had nothing to do but go from point a to point b. The two characters love each other just because. The visual aesthetics were shit. The movie portrays the magic tricks as actual magic, which is weird because he's not supposed to be an actual conjuror, but an illusionist. They don't even attempt to justify his "tricks", which are impossible even with today's technology.

The tricks are presented in a way that gives you the same impression as the audience would have had. None of the tricks are impossible.

The movie was also nominated for an academy award for its cinematography.

Love isn’t just abc, it works in an endless number of ways.

Foed. This movie has ruined my mood. I don’t remember the last time I hated a viewing experience this much. Terrible terrible movie

Oh it was probably oceans 12 or 13. This is on par with that

There’s a first time for everything.

Really good trilogy this. Probably a little underrated.

Anders is there any movie you don’t like?

Yes

What was the last movie you didn’t like?

I watched Killing Gunther and Iron Mask on the 10th of August, Fifty Shades Darker on the 8th of August. I liked neither of them.
