Film Review No. 1

THE PRESTIGE - Batman vs Wolverine
Director: Chris Nolan
(slight spoilers. read at your own risk)

It's a period movie set at the turn of the century Victorian England about the rivalry of two magicians. Let's just call them by their monickers - The Great Danton and The Professor.

The screenplay is good. It's the type of story where you cant judge both rival magicians as a protagonist or antagonist. Also, the flow of the story mixes up flashbacks and current-time. If you are the type of person who enters the theater at the middle of the movie, GO HOME.

Special appearance by Nicola Tesla. Yup, Edison's arch-enemy in written history.

The movie will tell you the importance of science and engineering in staging elaborate magic tricks.

If you are a SciFi purist, this may not be the movie for you. There's this thing toward the end of the movie that will raise skeptical eyebrows. But for a well-written dramatic script, you can ignore that and focus on the drama involved between the obsession of two magicians.

My verdic:
Script - 9/10.
Cinematography - 10/10. nice view on Tesla's secret mountain refuge.
Acting - 7/10. Wolverine not as good as Batman in acting.
Music - 5/10. I was expecting more Romantic Period music. I only heard one piano piece (Butterfly Etude by Frederic Chopin).
Direction - 8/10. same dark feeling as Chris Nolan's 'Batman Begins'

It's not a McDo movie. So please do watch. The debatable ending will leave tons of what-ifs for a month.
