My big problem with The Prestige was that the plot twists were so easily guessable. (So was the twist in The Illusionist, but at least Edward Norton got to fake a brilliant Austrian accent.)
I haven't seen the Illusionist yet. Sounds like I'll have to now.

BTW, I didn't feel like realizing that

Spoiler:
the guy with the hat, beard & glasses was the British magician's double/twin


early on ruined Prestige for me. On the contrary, it helped prevent a total "WTF?!" moment at the end.
