I am still having trouble deciding who really was the better magician. Perhaps the Nolan brothers are the answer.

Sadly for me, it’s a one time watch movie cause I already know the plot. Wish my brain got reset function πŸ˜‚

I'm not a big movie rewatcher myself, but this is one of those movies to watch again because you know the plot. It's extremely well crafted, and there are plenty of significant scenes with hidden meaning or foreshadowing to catch on the second watch if you keep your eyes open.

Absolutely. Trying to catch all the different ways the movie tells you everything before anything is revealed is fun.

My favorite is the little kid that cries because he killed the birds brother.

This and The Sixth Sense are among the few movies that are better on rewatch because you know the twist but the characters don't.

It really rewards rewatching IMO. You can appreciate the huge amounts of foreshadowing. The movie tells you exactly what's going on right from the beginning. But you're not really looking, because you want to be fooled.
