Damn this Christopher Nolan guy is the real sh|t!

i've seen Memento and this one was on the same level of screwing-with-your-mind-ness.

**SPOILER**

i think the reason Borden tied the wrong know on Angier's wife was because it was his other twin who did it because obviously he wasn't there when Cutter told him backstage not to tie that particular knot again.

Eh. I didn't like having to be told what was going on with Bale's character. Just show me. I had already figured out Wolverine's part of the story, so the final reveal wasn't a big surprise.

If you're a romantic, then sure. I didn't care for it. The story was predictable, the acting average as was the cinematography.

Uhm....The Prestige wasn't all that great at screwing with your mind.

Yeah nobody could have predicted the stupid story line in the Prestige where Bowies character creating a machine that ****** people, especially in the 19th century. That right there made that movie jump the shark.

Red Dawn, is that sarcasm? If not, then I disagree with you. Don't you remember the very opening of the film? The big pile of hats in the woods? Foreshadowing! The duplicated cat? What about the scene where Wolverine makes a copy of himself? He even had a gun, therefor telling the viewer that he's expecting something to go wrong; he's done it before. I'm just providing examples of why it wasn't or shouldn't have been a surprise.

i personally don't really like movies like this very much where they mess with your mind so much that you can't figure out what/how the last mysterious event occured before they bombard you with another and another and yet another mystery.

I didn't predict that it was going to have such a stupid plot
