Liota Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Just saw it tonight. Good movie. The special effects were very well done. Blending between live action and CGI was excellent. With few exceptions, dialogue was nearly word perfect with the book. I read the book the other night. The movie length turned out to be just about right. The story itself is very good.

Wakal Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Fantastic creatures; the special effects are simply amazing. Otherwise...just as much corn as the books. No idea why these are considered "classic" liturature. A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikarin Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 (edited) It was Lion King joined Arthur's Round Table for the battle in the Lord of the Rings. But this actress, a newcomer (and like 6 years old?) Georgie Henley was unbeliebable! Her innocence and carefree smile were so radiating and believable, I whole heartedly got "enchanted." Just watch her run with smile, you can feel the entire emotional world of Narnia. And CG was like I couldn't even tell if its CG. industry came so much in just 1 year. Then there's this thing I am such a sucker of... to sacrifice one's life for save other. Watching that scene, being bound and have pride and dignity taken away, was sooooo painful I was crying river. It same kinda scene I cried in Last of the Mochicans... that this guy volunteer to be excuted inplace of his loved one. What accelated my downpour is that his love enemy sniped him clean from save him from the pain of burned alive. The intention of that one single bullet and pull of the triger is a love like nothing else. Ooops I didn't notice there's other thread started already. Sorry can you move and delete this thread? thanks! Edited December 11, 2005 by Rikarin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3quartertime Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Is this something that should be seen at the big screen? Wondering if I should take the kids to see it or just wait till the DVD comes out. Like we all know some movies just need to be seen larger than life!!!

eric nielsen Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 +1 We sat in the back row of a theater that held 500, probably 350 of that were kids and they were all HYPNOTIZED. The cast, the acting, the way it's filmed & directed, its easy to just get lost in that whole story world. On the way out we heard dozens of parents saying something like: "Yes, yes, you can come back and see it again - I promise." The movie should make a huge profit in spite of the predictions from [liberal, atheist] Hollywood insiders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Just saw it today, very well made film. The CGI is very impressive and they stayed very close to the book. This is one for the DVD collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 3QT, Don't know if you saw it yet yet, but this is one that's worth seeing on the big screen, I believe. I'm not a big movie goer, but we (me, the wife, and the kids) all loved it. The kids are teenagers now but they remembered the stories from when I read them to them years ago. Hopefully there'll be more movies to come... Regards, Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just before the film goest to DVD it plays there for a week or so at $1 a ticket. I'll probably round up my girls and a few of thier friends. That way I can treat all to the movie and treats for under ten bucks!!! Thanks for the cool reviews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehli Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 And here I am wondering if we saw the same movie. Cool effects... and that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritinUSA Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 What's not to like ? Santa Claus giving swords, knives and bow & arrows to a bunch of kids. A seven year old girl that can throw a knife about 20 yards and hit the centre of the target. Lots of magic, bad guys getting their butts kicked, great acting all round... Perhaps your just not in touch with your inner child Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps your just not in touch with your inner child Great acting? Uh, riiiight. Liam Neeson and James McAvoy (Mr. Tumnus) were the only ones that did a decent job. McAvoy was better in Wimbledon and The Children of Dune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz-0 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 It was a neat popcorn flick, about the right length, but the stone table scene came up a bit short. That particular bit was much better in the cartoon version IMHO. It's the chronicles of narnia, not everyone's cup of tea. Frankly I never made it past the second book and can really only say I like the lion, the with, and the wardrobe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
