(+) Yeah! (+)

I LOVE The Prestige but I have one small critique.

I didn't like how they initially tried to make Wolverine look like the good guy and then towards the end they made Batman the victim good guy instead. Hated that. If they were aiming to make it that both of them were dickhead bad guys then they should of just stuck with that from beginning.

They spent too much time establishing that Bale was a prick to then try to pull a 180 at the very end and act like he's the victim. He was overall the more antagonistic of the two. Jackman's character came off more relatable, modest, humbling and more open minded thus giving the impression that he's the good guy. When Jackman did bad things towards Bale, you understood it as revenge for Bale killing his wife so you didn't think Jackman was a bad guy. He was just getting revenge. It doesn't help that Michael Cane's character was initially on Jackman's side even helping him take extreme measures to help Jackman win, and then Cane's character does a 180 and is all like "OMG Wolverine you are wrong, Batman is the good guy here!". They should of just made them look like bad guys equally from the start. That's just my opinion. Still a great movie.

I was also debating with people on LL about the death of Jackman's wife. They were tryna tell me it was mostly an accident, tryna say Bale was blameless. I got kinda triggered by that because it was absolutely Bale's fault she died. Everyone mainly disagreed on Bale's method of untying the rope while in water because it was too dangerous and everyone was unfamiliar with it but the idiot tried it anyway during a live fucking show and that's what caused the death of Jackman's wife.
