Absolutely stunning costumes and a great performance by Giamatti help bring this movie above average.

Beautiful cinematography and good acting. The story was simple and compelling. And my how I love those epiphany montages at the ends of movies.

This would've gotten a perfect if I wasn't so disturbed by the lack of additional effort to present realistic depictions of performed acts. Aside from that, a very magical film.

Edward Norton is the man...LOL. He is a very underrated actor IMO. I loved this movie! He was very good in this Paul Giamatti was very good at a very close second. Very good story and the cool illusions were an added benefit. I think Jessica Biel holds her own...she's hot...what else needs to be added about her?

The better of the two period-magician films that you confused and ended up seeing neither.

Just like the best of fairy tales, the enduring qualities don't come from the ending, but in the manner in which they are told, and The Illusionist utilizes classic narrative technique to get its modest story across, without dwelling too much on gimmickry and distracting side stories. [Full Review]

A very nice surprise. I hadn't heard much about the movie and I am not sure why. It deserves some hype. Its smart, intriguing and original and Norton shines as always.
