Anyone seeing The Narnia Chronicles: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe?

The credits stated the actor's name is Sim....something- something.

Maybe you saw the voice for the wolf, his name is Sim?

I was both pleased and disappointed. It was good, and I enjoyed. A pretty faithful portrayal. What I finally realized was disappointing to me was that it was totally a kids movie. As silly as that sounds, the books always had another level to them. They were great kids books, but they also held another deeper and more thoughtful level to them. The movie totally missed that.

Also, they added some stuff in which I found unnecessary, since I wish they'd taken more time to explain who Aslan was. That was my biggest complaint. They never explain or visually show WHY he is so important and venerated. I'd have cut some stuff in favor of two more minutes of exposition at any point (with the Beavers, with a Centaur, among themselves, with the Witch) giving some explanation as to why he is important. And Liam Neeson, bless him, did a great job, but the last thing I saw him in was The Kinsey Report - going from Kinsey to Aslan was too much for my mind.

Still, enjoyed it very much.

I was going to see it last night, but decided to watch The Passion instead.

Well, that too is a nice piece of film making, but it makes me queasy, so I tend to save it for Good Friday, when I am fasting anyway.

It was alright... That little girl was the most annoying child actor since Anakin Skywalker, though.

My husband thought so too, but she didn't bother me much. The eldest bothered me more, since I felt like he *should* be a better actor. But then I was distracted by how much he looks like Prince William. Eerie.

Yes, we saw The Daily Show use that joke too. It wasn't that funny then, and it's not that funny either time from you...

What is funny is how any movie with religious undertones will now be compared to The Passion. I guess we should say the same thing about The Matrix and the original Star Wars...

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Actually i've laughed each time I mention it. I even laugh every time I say the word "passion".

And it was the Colbert Report, not the Daily Show.

[easjer]

It's good that you are capable of keeping yourself amused.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Well what else is the internet for?

[easjer]

Touché.

You are correct...perhaps I need to take up hunting, then I would know the difference between afox and wolf...

My husband thought so too, but she didn't bother me much. The eldest bothered me more, since I felt like he *should* be a better actor. But then I was distracted by how much he looks like Prince William. Eerie.

I thought he resmebles a younger Prince Williams as well...I thought I was the only one to think that.

I finally saw this tonight. It ing SUCKED. Are you kidding me? The last time I saw this movie it was much better and it was called Return Of The King. And even with all the fight scenes, Disney can't throw in a drop of blood? Sure, the sword goes into a guy and comes out shiny as ever.

They didn't do the characters justice at all. It was just a piss poor rendition that came out looking like LOTR for preteens as opposed to an actualy epic movie.

What a crock.
