Awesome. It's nice to hear good things about movies you want to see, you know?

coemgen · 12-01-2005, 10:47 AM

I'm so excited abou this movie coming out!

Aardvark747 · 12-01-2005, 11:07 AM

Can't wait to see it. I loved the books as a kid.

onebloodonelife · 12-08-2005, 05:43 PM

Who's going to see it? I'm going tomorrow...opening day. I love it when we don't have school on Fridays that movies are coming out on. We were off the Friday that Harry Potter 4 came out too...

I don't normally like these kinds of movies, but I have to admit the trailers for the film make me want to go see it.

I saw it late last night. I was hoping for more. Was a little more "childish" than I was expecting but a good movie overall.

The biblical parallels are numerous and blatant. I wish more movies contained a positive message like this one does.

Exactly

I think the "childish" essence of the film was what was best of it. When it tried to be Lord of the Rings it wasn't as strong. This story isn't about the chase. It isn't about dwarfs who only live over here, ghosts who live over there, hobbits who live over there etc. It isn't confusing...it's straightforward children's fantasy.
C.S. Lewis is one of the greatest writers - great poetry, great prose, great theology/philosophy, great stories etc.

Jack In The Box · 12-10-2005, 07:14 PM

well, the book is "childish"

I'm a big fan of this saga, good movie, I was expecting for a little more, great adaptation, but the fx sometimes seemed like... exaggerated
