The Chronicles of Narnia

[Guest barber]

has anyone seen it yet ? ive been a big fan of the books since i was a little kid and cant wait to see the movie release but it doesnt come out in australia until next week. just wondering if it lives up to its name.

[IAceI]

How exactly do you live up to the name, "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe?"

And from what I've heard it's just - in the words of Marcus Brigstoke - "Lord of the Rings with added lion."

I absolutely loved it, I thought it was the best book-to-film adaptation I've seen in years, and better than LOTR, but I always preferred Narnia to Middle-Earth anyway.

I thought it was a very good film, and if you your a fan of the books(like I was), then its everything you'd expect. Great special effects do add a little something too

[kliq]

I thought it was brilliant. I was literally on the edge of my seat throughout some of it, despite having read the books countless times. A fantastic adaptation.

[gunnar hendershow]

It's the best book-to-film adaptation I can remember seeing in a long time. If you liked the books, you'll like the film.

[ROC]

It's a very good film, coming from someone who's not been a fan so much of the drawn out book adaptation stuff. The final battle looks damn amazing and Liam Neeson voicing Aslan as well as Tilda Swinton's job as the White Witch is done fantastically.

I really could not take the final battle seriously. Unfortunately, my friend sitting next to me in the cinema bore the brunt of this...

"Oh sure, position your army just behind the cusp of a hill, so you can't even SEE the enemy until they're right on top of you. And while you're at it, why not have your backs to a cliff face as well? Fucking morons!"

That said, neither of us were taking the film very seriously to begin with anyway. Aslan couldn't so much as step on screen without one of us making some kind of Jesus quip.

[Turbo Yannis]

I haven't seen it yet but I won't be able to watch it without thinking of the SNL rap.

Crazy delicious.

[Pesci]

I liked the film, but I didn't like Peter. He really fucking annoyed me with that camp voice of his. And then when he went from the pussy older brother with the camp voice to the fearless leader of an entire army of people, who apparently had awesome sword skills, I couldn't take the transition seriously.

But aye, a lot of effort went into this and it shows throughout the film. But they probably could have cast a better actor for the main role.

You're lucky, I had my mate going on about how illogical it was that they'd made the beavers archers in the last battle, and how they'd get next-to-no trajectory.

That said, we also spent the whole film cracking paedophile jokes, ranting about how emo Mr. Tumnus was, and every time the centaur was on-screen going "Alright, love, wanna know why they call me horse? That's right.....'cos of the legs".

I thought it was great, I'll get it on dvd as well when it comes out.

[fineintent]

Tumnus: "It isn't what I've done... It's what I'm about to do"

Me: "Peaaaaaaaaaaaaado"

I enjoyed it though, sat there making jokes, but it was oddly watchable.

[Guest trendsetter]

I went to watch it christmas eve, it's a decent film, I expected it to be a typical kids film but at times it was quiet dark and interesting. I've never read the books so it was a new experience for me, I wasn't expecting Aslan to come back to life.

But saying that, we did sit through it making endless paedophile remarks.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Magicians Nephew is the best Chronicles of Narnia book by a long way but no-one ever adapts it, they always skip over that and Horse and his Boy to start with LW&tW

[Tarheels.]

I read L,W&W first then read the first 2. I think that it worked a little bit better that way for me because some of the things that happened in it were revealed to me. But I was like 9 or 10 at the time anyways.

[Skummy]

I haven't read them in years, but I seem to remember not liking The Magician's Nephew, and I can't even remember Horse & His Boy. I only really remember The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe and The Last Battle, to be honest.

[Guest Grapehead]

In all the sets I have bought or seen, it orders Magicians Nephew first, then Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe THEN Horse and his Boy.
