Off to the Movies…
I’m late to the party on this one, but I’m heading out to see the Chronicles of Narnia…seems like a good candidate for the big-screen treatment (and I’m seeing it with digital projection, though it was not shot digitally – we’ll see how much of a difference that makes)…
My thoughts later…
Make sure you get some Mr. Pibb and Red Vines. “Crazy delcious!”
Narnia’s no good, although I’m glad it’s kicking Brokeback Mountain’s a**.
Of course it’s actually a kids movie so I don’t know why I’m even having an opinion here
Amos, you’re right, it’s very much a kid’s movie. I got some enjoyment from watching the film itself, but most of the fun came from turning my head slightly and watching the excitement and joy in my daughter’s face.
Just got back…I knew it was a kid’s film, but I thought I would like it anyway, and I did – to a point…it was missing the little extra ‘oomph’ that would have pushed it into the four-star category, but it was a solid three…
The acting was, for the most part, well up to the task, and the talking animals were well-executed…but I found some of the action sequences to be a little ‘fakey’ – which is kind of unforgivable in a movie with a $180 million production budget…
Also, the swordplay was totally lame…
On the positive side, little Lucy was great, and the story remains a ripping good yarn, though a little too compressed in this case…with Lewis, the details are the delight…
Mark, Glad you liked the movie. Remember what happened when you thought the NY NY Roller Coaster was a kiddie ride!
You had to remind me!…
