OK... one of my friends in Delhi watched it and he was disapointed with the movie It didn't have anything special to offer and he has no idea how and why in the world did the White Witch make an appearance cos she is in no way mentioned in the book Mirza was pathetic in the movie and did nothing to invoke fear and anticipation He also said that he'd go and watch the first movie if given the choice between the two

 

I'm really feeling cos he's a Narnia addict and as per him, the movie was just ok

 

Ugh! only one more week

[KimboCosmo]

Well, I'm still hoping

[dj4celine]

me too

[KimboCosmo]

It's 2 1/2 hours!

[dj4celine]

yeah... and the battle scene takes the longest times Besides, Ben Barnes doesn't seem to deliver much (but I'd watch him any day )

 

Silly trivia: William Mosley is only a day older than me

[Krys]

OY DEE! you should put it in spoiler mode but i dont care, other people said Narnia 1 was cheesy but i like it

You didn't like it!? I went to see it last night with my sister and it was totally awesome, in my opinion! I don't know if this'll spoil it in any way for other movie-goers, so please be advised. It's just my quick review

 

SPOILER! --Click here to view-- | --Cliquez ici pour voir--

Yes, the White Witch wasn't in the second book but I like it's a nice little bonus. It helped greatly with building the characters. We all know what's Peter's like, but including the incident with the White Witch helped convey his frustration and evident lost of hope at that point in time. It also showed major maturity in Edmund's character as he was the one who basically "destroyed" the option of relying on the White Which; it also shows that although he's still younger than his brother, he's gotten to a point where he's capable of making just decisions. Also, keep in mind that the simplest event in a book can captivate the reader, construct characters, and move the storyline along with the use of metaphoric language and other rhetorical strategies. Movies don't have that advantage, so there there needs to be something which will accomplish these goals visually, while captivating the audience--a movie can never be exactly like its book.

 

The film as an entirety was also very nicely constructed. The cinematography was great and a lot of it was more grungy and dark. If you were expecting something like the LWW, then I can see where you can feel disappointed. But keep in mind that the storyline in 1300 Narnian years later, and much of the land has somewhat, "lost" or "forgotten" its magic. Many creatures are subsequently a lot like earthly creatures which changes the tone of the film a great deal, as it should.

 

The battle between Peter and Miraz was definitely epic and the angles were amazing. I was literally dragged into the screen--it was that amazing! Even though I read the book prior to the film, I still had a sense of insecurity and uncertainty of how it would ultimately end, which in my opinion, is a good thing.

 

And of course, I loved the soundtrack and I appreciate how Harry Gregson-Williams brought some of the musical themes from the first film and slightly altered them in this one, along with the newly composed pieces. It brought me back to feelings I had when watching the first film, just at the right moment. And the new pieced also fit the film perfectly, (I especially liked the violin-heavy track during the battle at Miraz's castle).

 

Although, I've gotta say I was kinda disappointed when I realized that Switchfoot's song for the soundtrack, "This Is Home" was going to be so far into the end credits. But Regina Spektor did an incredible job at closing the film.

I haven't watched the movie yet... that was just my friend's opinion. The movie doesn't open in my city until next week. I'm gonna see it then I was weary about IronMan too at first, but I went and watched it and loved it

[nano]

didn't like the first movie..so I have a feeling I won't be liking this either

[PrincesseJen]

But I think they may laugh at me if I do that unless they think I'm buying it for a non-existant child that I don't have.

 

Narnia's cool for everyone. http://www.smileysets.us/temp/PRINCESS/cool.gif

i'm slapping myself for coming to this thread, i haven't seen it yet and i''m about to scream!!!

[AllCeline]

I'm going to see it a second time!! (Did it for the first one, so I've gotta maintain the tradition).

 

Btw, "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" is set for release on May 7, 2010 as of right now.

From what I've read today it did not do as well as they thought at the box office in the US, although that has nothing to do with whether or not it's a good movie or not. I'm sure it will do very well when it goes to DVD.

[Koolan]

I had a chance to watch it yesterday but passed due to some not very good reviews.

[KimboCosmo]

OMG!!! I just got home from seeing it! I LOVEDDDDDDD IT! I still like the first one better, but this one was amazing too! It's not really set for children, like the first one was...there isn't anything bad in it for them, but I think it takes an adult mind to understand a lot of what is going on. I freakin' loved it, and I really hope and can't wait for the next one.

[Krys]

it was greaaat! though i missed the front part a bit cuz i was late lol. there were funny bits here and there its a lot less serious than the first one

[dj4celine]

From what I've got till now, the first one was better than this one. Argh, I can't wait for it to release here this friday. It's already #1 in the Indian Box Office and got 4 stars out of 5 from the Box Office review. These 5 days are gonna be killers

[KimboCosmo]

I think you'll like it Dhruvie...it was definately worth watching to me.

[dj4celine]

I hope so... and even if I won't like the movie, William Moseley and and Ben barnes would keep my mind occupied

[KimboCosmo]

There is a hot scene at the end that involve one of the hot guys

[stevethefan]

Still have not seen either movie.

[Krys]

any Narnian will like it lol. the CG is pure eye candy

[stevethefan]

Probably better in the theater then at home.

[KimboCosmo]

Steveeeeee, get your butt to Blockbuster and rent the first one, then go see this one in the theatre before it's gone!!!

[dj4celine]

 

Kim's trying so hard to turn Papa S into a Narnian :mdr:
