The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005)

re: The Golden Compass (2007)

I went to see it last night

Excellent :). Although if you didn't like the LOTR movies because of how much you liked LOTR books I wouldn't recommend it to you. It's pretty faithful (I thought) but chunks are left out (particularily the ending but I can see why they did it that way)

I really hope they make the next two
 
re: The Golden Compass (2007)

Yes, they cut the last two or three chapters of Northern Lights from the first film, and, assuming it's made, they'll be the start of The Subtle Knife, or whatever they call it....
 
re: The Golden Compass (2007)

I would presume Subtle Knife because as far as I know that is its only name.

Good to hear I will Py. That makes a good day into a great one.
 
re: The Golden Compass (2007)

Looks good, especially the Bear Fight.

I'll have to wait for December 26, it's the traditional Boxing Day holiday in OZ when a lot of the christmas movies are released and people either attend a sporting event eg Boxing Day Test in Melbourne or go to the movies.

Just hope it's not as sanitized as The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.....:rolleyes:

The one I'm really looking forward to is The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, but this one looks a bit darker than its not-so-illustrious predecessor.
 
re: The Golden Compass (2007)

Yes it is :)

I had thought it was christopher Lee but my friend looked it up
 
re: The Golden Compass (2007)

And I thought it was Patrick Stewart....funny, isn't it!:p
 
Re: Narnia Prince Caspian Trailer

Well, it looks like it's going to be a visual treat, that's for sure.

I'm trying to remember what they might have sanitized in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and not coming up with anything that struck me that way. Perhaps, Pyan, if you mention some specifics you'll jog my memory.
 
Re: Narnia Prince Caspian Trailer

It looks interesting, I just hope they don't take as many liberties with the story as they did with the opening sequence. On the plus side, the BBC practically ignored this one, although Caspian was about the right age there.
 
Re: Narnia Prince Caspian Trailer

I liked the first one a lot -- didn't quite fall in love with it, but it takes me a while to warm to any adaptation of a beloved book. I kept thinking I was going to see it again and then ... somehow never did.

Someone in the family has the DVD, though. And this being just the right season, I might be watching it very, very soon.

My only problem with the Prince Caspian trailer is that it manages not to show any of my favorite scenes; if it had, I'd probably be more excited.
 
Re: Narnia Prince Caspian Trailer

I just hope it does well so that there will be more movies, specifically The Horse and His Boy and especially The Silver Chair.
The BBC didn't do the first and the ones they did do had a small budget compared to Hollywood films.

I liked the first one, can't wait to see this one.

Yeah, the Horse and His Boy was my favourite Narnia book, although it's been that long I can't remember too much about it! My other faves are The Last Battle and The Magicians Nephew, so I hope they do ALL of the books, not just a select few.

No blood!
Seriously though, the battle scenes were like watching the "A-Team". I don't thing anyone is actually seen getting hurt in the whole film.
