I watched only the first part for now, and I found it quite entertaining. My kids loved it. I liked the "exposure" parts, and seeing mechanical gears and all that, I think it was well done, forget Tony Curtis. Good advertising for magic. So what if it's not 100% (or even 60%) accurate? It's a movie, not a documentary about the man, and as such it's perfectly ok to take some "artistic paths" and make it more palatable to the general crowd. I am sure that some hard-core experts on Houdini could have written a much more accurate story, but...would that have been as entertaining ?
