Anybody seen it yet?
I wan’t to, I’ve read the book and the trailer looks really good, I can’t wait to see it!
I really want to see it, I hadn’t read any of the books before last week but read the first two in a few days, and now I’m on The Dawn Treader…they’re really good!
I saw it friday. It was everything I expected it to be after reading all the books.
See [post=619840]here[/post] what I said about it.
Not seen it, and probably won’t. As a kid, I loved the books. Better to keep the memories than overlay them with someone else’s vision. That’s why I never went to see Lord of the Rings, either.
That said, I loved the Swallows and Amazons books too, and the film of that was great.
I’ve never read the books, but I saw the animated version when I was four or five. It freaked me out so much that I didn’t want to open my bedroom closet for fear that I’d open a portal to a strange universe.
I’ll probably end up seeing the movie. Why spend so much time reading the books when I can spend a couple hours watching the movie? 
Because the movie is only about the first book, The Lion, the witch, and the wardrobe. The other 6 books will be a very very long time if they ever do get made into a movie.
But see the movie anyway. Its wayyy better than the old animated versions. 
yeah ive seen it its pretty kool. and deffinatly worth it! its like 2 hours long. never read the book bofore but i intend to.
I can’t see it unitil My aunt from Washington gets here for Christmas. I always watch a movie with her and my family when she’s here. I hate waiting.
I saw it and wrote a review about it on another forum:
POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD
[B]I saw it yesterday.
My reaction to the first parts of the movie (e.g. the Earth stuff pre-wardrobe) was “Wow, nice cinematography, good soundtrack, above-average acting, this’ll be good!” But the time I spent in Narnia revealed a few things I didn’t like.
First off, the acting. I thought Lucy was incredibly talented for being such a young girl, so I give props there. But as you go up the age line of the characters, the acting got progressively worse. Ed’s character was played out almost like I imagined…I thought he should’ve showed a bit more realism in his fear during his capture in the Witch’s camp. I think Susan overplayed her role as the uptight bitch, because I imagined her more as a mother figure in the books than as a prison guard figure. She was so overbearing and self-righteous. It also didn’t help that her character so suddenly changed from bitch to valiant queen with practically no transition room in the middle. Didn’t seem real at all.
Peter’s actor disappointed me horribly. I felt like I never really got know him that well through watching the movie - at one point he was the father figure of the younger ones, at another point he was the typical pansy-boy, at then the next moment he was a hero. And he made it look so robotic the entire time, like the actor just didn’t care (or was completely untalented). This wouldn’t have bothered me so much had he been some sort of a support character, but he was the main man of the movie, and he didn’t take advantage of that. The only time I thought he shined even the slightest bit was right before the Narnian army charged out to meet the Witch’s army, and he made it seem so cliche’d that it took a lot of the coolness out of it.
The animation was of a tremendous quality, and I applaud that much. The animals looked very real when compared with the actual people characters. But the animation itself wasn’t all that great. It wasn’t bad, but it didn’t really look like seasoned professionals made it. The voice acting was alright, no real complaints there, it just got the job done.
The soundtrack was what lured me in at the very beginning, but past that, it was nothing special, just enough to, once again, get the job done.
The main battle scene near the end was pretty good for a PG movie. I always find myself expecting a bunch of blood and decapitation in those scenes (probably from watching LotR), so it didn’t live up to my normal expectations, but hey, I understand that it was only PG and they couldn’t go that far.
I guess I’ll give this movie a B-. My main beefs were the less-than-superb acting of the main characters and the overall average qualities of a lot of the aspects of the movie. I might watch it again at a movie party or when it comes on On Demand, but other than that, I wouldn’t shell out another 6 bucks to go see it when I can go use that to go see King Kong.[/B]
My mother bought the books for my daughter when she was born. She started reading them to her several years ago and I’m not sure how far through they got in the time they get to spend together.
Emma is working on the second in the series now and saw the movie today. She loved it, apparently.
I was given C.S. Lewis’ book The Problem of Pain for Christmas by a friend who wanted me to reevaluate my atheism. I only made it through about halfway and have been meaning to pick it up again sometime. I don’t think it will be made into a blockbuster Hollywood movie, though.
I never read the book, so I had no epecttions for the movie. that being said, I agree with dudewithasock’s review.
i will probably go see it. i only read the magicians nephew and it was good, but confsuing so i stopped there. hopefully i’ll like it if i see it.
Dude, that was too deep. Come back, come back.
I really wanna c it!!! it loox real good!
Is that a compliment? 
i guess?!
