I can't wait to see it! I REALLY hope I can convince the fam to see it over break. Though, I'm sure it's not going to take a lot of convincing :P

Haven't heard of it, so that means we probably won't be getting it for a few more weeks :-\

I liked it. I think that LOTR is better but I liked it.

I saw the movie a few days ago.  It was pretty good, but don't expect a LOTR or anything. :P

Thought it was pretty crappy... at least the acting of the two boys... holy crap.  Girls were believable. 

That's what I get for seeing a movie geared towards a younger-than-me grouping. :D


And that SNL video was PRICELESS!

I saw it a couple weeks ago, and I liked it a lot!  It wasn't perfect, of course (I thought Jadis's outfits were a little ridiculous), but, overall, the movie was faithful to the book.

Yeah, I didn't really get that either. Maybe I should read the book to see if it says anything about it.

If I remember right, Peter raises the sword because it seems like the proper way to address an important person.  It comes off as awkward in the book and in the movie by design; Peter's not used to this sort of thing. :)

Well, I saw the movie and I loved it! I'm not a good judge of acting. I like the medieval costumes that the children wore. Yes, Jadis' outfits were ridiculous. I liked Lucy and her innocence and friendliness. Aslan was great. I liked the music and how the movie began, with the horrors of WWII.

I saw The Chronicles Of Narnia at the Movies yesterday and i really liked it, in my opinion it was better then Harry Potter.

I dont know the Books or the TV Show, but when i saw the Movie, it started out good, but then it all of a sudden looked like someone pressed the Fast Forward Button and the Movie ends just when it was starting to get interesting. Im still confused as to what the Movie is about.

What is the Origin of this Closet and Narnia, i didint see any special Wardrobe in the Movie.

I saw on the Internet that the Second Movie will come out in 2007 and i read that they will turn all 5 books into Movies and maybe the last two Books to Movies aswell.

If they make all 7 Books into Movies, the last Movie will end up in 2020

I never knew there were 7 Books http://books.narnia.com/chronicles/books/index.html and it looks like the TV Series stopped at the Silver Chair, any reason why they didint continue the TV Series. http://www.tv.com/the-chronicles-of-narnia/show/37844/episode_guide.html&season=1

You can now buy the TV Series on DVD aswell, http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?ctx=285;5;-1;-1&sku=433536 but i think i'll buy the New Movie version of Narnia on DVD

Witch is better, the TV version, or the Movie version.

I hope this Movie "Or Movies" doesent become Harry Potter Versions where they cut out big important parts just to confuse the people who never read the Books.

I can already see that Narnia is much better then Harry, ooh lets start a Poll just for the fun of it. "Witch 7 Books/Movies are more Fantastical and Magical in everyway"

If that person had lived a few years ago and started writing the 7 Books Of Narnia with JK Rowling who started her 7 Books of Harry, would they have real Competition.

The Magician's Nephew explains the origins of Narnia and explains how the wardrobe was built from special wood from Narnia.  You should read the books to enjoy the movie more, in my opinion.

Its a weird way to start when this person wrote the books, he writes a second book where he tells us the beginning of everything, but the First Book plus the 3d, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, continues the Story. The Second Book is like a Giant Flash Back and it should've been the First Story to tell.
Title: Re: The Chronicles of Narnia Movie Thread
Post by: koko_99_2001 on January 29, 2006, 06:33:51 AM
Actually, The Magician's Nephew was written last.
Title: Re: The Chronicles of Narnia Movie Thread
Post by: dew7 on January 30, 2006, 10:01:57 PM
The Last Battle was written last.
Title: Re: The Chronicles of Narnia Movie Thread
Post by: koko_99_2001 on January 31, 2006, 04:42:39 AM
In the original writings by C.S. Lewis, The Magician's Nephew was placed last in the series, even though it is, chronologically, considered the first book of the series.
Title: Re: The Chronicles of Narnia Movie Thread
Post by: dew7 on January 31, 2006, 10:33:03 PM
What was the original order?

I always thought it was

Lion, the witch and the wardrobe
Prince Caspian
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
The Silver Chair
The Horse and His Boy
Magician's Nephew
The Last Battle
Title: Re: The Chronicles of Narnia Movie Thread
Post by: koko_99_2001 on February 01, 2006, 04:52:37 AM
I've always heard that it was The Last Battle and then the Magician's Nephew.

They did in all the movies/the book too, right?

Post by: dew7 on February 12, 2006, 10:07:21 PM
In the book they went home and in the recent movie the children went home too.  I have not seen the BBC version.
