The Illusionist is popular for the fact that its another movie related to Magician released alongside "The Prestige" and the main reason this movie is known just for that is because it fails to leave any mark, i.e, it falls flat.
Firstly let me talk about the positives... The main one being that despite having so many flaws its enjoyable and that really counts for me.
Edward Norton, no doubt, is a great actor and here too he feels good especially in intense scenes but tbh his expressions remain monotonous while Jessica Beil was good what she was given.... the real players are the actors playing Inspector and Crown Prince, they both were top notch.
The Cinematography is well done, I kinda enjoyed the Yellowish tone that was given to this movie.
And did I tell you this movie was quite enjoyable.
Now the story towards the second half falls flat and gets kinda predictable... and although the aspect of the Magic shows is intriguing but that too falls at the end.
The ending was meh, I mean come on dude you can do better, A guy realizing the whole story on a Train Platform. HOW ORIGINAL!!
And Lastly, its hollow, its got a love story that's half baked... it got the whole illusion aspect thats hollow and doesn't provide anything at all
6/10
Overall its One Time Fun Watch, I don't see myself rewatching this one.
HOW TO FIX IT?
It doesn't matter if this movie remains a love story but the one thing that could've saved this movie for me, if it had a bit more inclination towards Magic, Not Illusion but Magic.... Turn it Supernatural and this movie works wonders, first of all the ending montage gets improved... secondly the movie gets some solidity and the hollowness vanishes.
By just turning him Supernatural rather than just a very good illusionist... The movie turns into Magic.
But again Thats Just My Opinion.
