About to watch Narnia....

[FreshPrince]

I'm thinking of the snl skits

 

[loup garou]

get ready to be taken to a dreamworld of magic! :music:

Just don't expect LOTR.

 

[scottish144]

Its not bad. Kinda like LOTR kids edition. The last battle scene is pretty cool. The kids are frickin retarded sometimes though.

 

[MiranoPoncho]

I found it too loosely bound to the book, but other than that, and the matrix like learning abilities of the children in the later parts, I liked it.

 

[imported_Stew]

It's good.

The children are all cowards and pvssies, always crying and complaining and sh!t. I fvcking hated the movie.

 

[Cabages]

Its pretty good. The kid actors are really annoying.

Why are you watching a movie and browsing the internet at the same time?

Do you have ADD? You have been watching it for 20 minutes, stop bitching.

 

[MrBond]

I *hated* the kids almost universally - they were just too whiney and annoying. It was OK, but I didn't think it was worth owning on DVD, unless you've got kids who are huge fans of the books.

 

[kitkit201]

"Grab some cupcakes from Magnolia!!"

 

[NatePo717]

It seemed thrown together to me. Like all the scenes didn't flow together smoothly. Kinda like watching a summary of the book I guess.

 

[JDrake]

WHAT?!

Yeah. They've got what, a few days to hone their battle skills to the same level as trained soldiers?

I agree - it's LOTR, Disney Edition. Enough said.
The typical fare - disciplinarian adults, a young kid who discovers the movie's biiiig secret, and of course no one believes her.

I knew I wanted to go to Walmart for something!!!

Yeah, I'm still confused as to how peter killed the wolf. He held the sword in the most reatrded way possible. Flat side up, point toward the ground. The wolf could've simply jumped over the blade. According to my sister, all of the impossible crap was "part of the miracle" and some other literary analysis crap. Literary analysis is only good for books. For a movie, I just want to enjoy the plot.

Another point of stupididty: Why did they take on an army several times bigger then they were in the open? They had a bottleneck which they used later, but why not at the start? Gather the soldiers in the bottleneck, have archers along the rocks, you can hit them from 3 sides.

Then again, LOTR used some retarded tactics as well (ie Not shooting until the orcs are right on top of them at helms deep, Not shooting into the fog at Osgiliath when they knew the orcs were crossing, and letting the first wave arrive unchallenged at the river).
