Prestigious?

Well I went to see THE PRESTIGE the other night...... hmmm...... still in two minds about this movie (which is pretty intrinisic to the plot if you have seen the movie LOL). Whilst Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale were GORGEOUS! Come on Wolverine vs Batman how good is that? And both these actors are incredibly talented it just left me a bit cold. The acting was superb, the sets gorgeous, Scarlett Johannson was just radiant and Michael Caine his usual, wonderful self - in addition there was Andy Serkis (adore Andy) and David Bowie (big surprise there) but something to me was missing - the movie was a bit drawn out and VERY confusing (even though I got "the twist" pretty early on).

Probably my biggest frustration was that I went alone and therefore had no-one to discuss the various twists and turns (and there are ALOT). Will definately hire when it comes out on DVD, so at least I can discuss it with my man, but compared to Casino Royale and Happy Feet which we saw over the Xmas break ??? - well sorry Hugh and Christian but didn't do it for me.
