I found The Illusionist to be an excellent film with fine actors whose performances I genuinely cared about. It's not perfect, mind you, but a minor gem nonetheless, with rich period setting and only a few faults (mostly to do with the overenthusiastic CGI "magic" effects). Jessica Biel, who you unfairly denigrated with that "second rate Scarlett Johansson" remark, was perfectly cast and very appealing as the passion driven Edward Norton's 'lost love' interest, as was Paul Giamatti's portrayal of the ambitious, status conscious, public servant.AuPh
