As per the subtitle I have of "The Prestige" the statement "Are you watching closely" is said 4 times. The movie begins with it and is said 3 more times during the course of the movie. And I couldn't get what you mean by "it does not make less sense when you do watch it closely". What things you notice that you don't if you don't watch it closely?

is there any other movie like "The Prestige"? if yes then please tell me.

There is "The Illusionist". This movie will keep you interested till the end mainly due to the beautiful performances by the cast especially edward norton.
But don't expect it to be as good as the prestige because as per me the climax of that movie is not proper. You might be able to guess the climax easily. Because of the stupid climax it couldn't achieve what the later achieved.

Yep didn't count, but 4 times is still repeated. It shows up frequently enough in the movie, to seem repeated.
like you come across odd bits of obscure trivia - Tesla apparently liked to wear white gloves. If you check to see if they showed that in the movie, yes they did!
you have to pay attention to scenes.. like the bowler hats shows that the machine actually works for real and is not some kind of trick, or just a teleporter. Then Fallon's make up... it's a pleasure just looking at it. Then the interactions between Borden, his assistant and his wife makes another layer of sense when you already know the story - and then it becomes kind of fun to imagine what they meant without you knowing the story. The whole movie is peppered with clues and hints that you can only understand over multiple viewings. Another fun aspect is picking out which twin is doing what throughout the course of the movie, and not just "a twin" - they have unique characteristics. Didn't even get the ending the first time around.

the trailer looks like Avengers 1 plus Iron Man 3 (with bad robotic suites ) very disappointed with trailer,

Ultron is one the best Marvel Villain .

Before Avengers was released People were saying avengers 1 was Iron man with friends i.e. Iron Man 3 .

to the Bold part : Ughhh

Are you referring to the Hulkbuster armor? I think it was pretty cool. Didn't pay attention to any other armor though. Will have to re-watch it.

Anyway, I'm not super-excited for this movie as I was for the first Avengers because I don't trust Joss Whedon anymore. He ruined the first one IMO with cheesy dialogues (He's adopted, WTF), badly designed (laughable) costumes/outfits/suits (Cap's outfit got me ROFL), bad cinematography (looked like a TV show) and whatnot. I just hope this one is better.

Never watched a war based movie on hall.

If you didn't watch "Day after Tomorrow" released recently in theater, you missed a lot! :p
[MENTION=56202]Anorion[/MENTION]: I guess another watch of "The Prestige" is warranted.

Happy new year : 4/10
Full timepass masala movie.. If you're planning to watch it, better leave your brains at home because its that bad.
Totally void of logic and plenty of loopholes.
Strictly one timeout watch..sonu sood, vivaan shah were not that good.. Boman Irani was wasted.. Surprisingly, it was Abhishek Bachchan who managed to stand out from the rest.

Buddy just a suggestion.
When you mention a movie put the point sweat you liked and what not. If we want only ratings then that can be taken from IMDb. D point of the thread is to give a general idea how the movie is. Cheers.
