It’s a fantastic story (and the novel ought to be interesting), but it’s not a very good film, is it? Nolan couldn’t preserve suspense even by mixing all the flashbacks, the problem being that he still insisted on trying rather than embrace the fact that the audience could guess what was going on; and the crappy accents and makeups don’t make the wait for “revelations” that entertaining.
There are plot holes, though. The most important being: How is the ultimate magic trick more impressive, from the audience’s point of view, than its previous version?
P.S. Compared to the book’s synopsis, I clearly prefer the movie’s plot.

Je ne sais pas à quoi ressemblait l'affiche française. Mais le film est très différent de ce à quoi je m'attendais après le trailer. Enfin, je ne m'attendais à rien de précis, mais certainement pas à ça.
