Great idea Gwen. I don't have much to say here at the moment (as I haven't actually seen the movie.) but I'm sure I'll have plenty to say in a few days.

I agree! Pirates, Hermione and I are going tomorrow at 3:45! *does a happy dance* I really really really hope it doesn't stay icy though! We had school off today, and there's a chance it'll still be icy tomorrow. *crosses fingers that it's not* |

Oh my gosh!!! 2 years well worth the wait, my friends!!! Oh, it was fantastic!! Aaaahhh!! Ok. No that the screaming is over, here is a list of the things I really liked about it, and the things I didn't. I'd suggest you only read it if you've seen the film already.
Favorite parts/good things: ~The children really looked like they were siblings. They seemed so comfortable with each other. ~I thought Tumnus was very well portrayed by James! ~The beginning of the film sets the tone great. We get to see what was really happening in London with the bombings and all. And you also get to see how Edmund really misses his dad, and how that effects his behaviour, and later, how the White Witch "gets to him". ~Lucy was so darling! She was really good at crying, and she just expressed herself really well, like any other girl her age would. ~Anna did a good job at Susan. She was really portrayed nicely as a bossy sister. ~Edmund was superb! He was so good being a teasing big brother, but then you could really see the change in him later! ~I think William chose to portray Peter as more protective, wich I liked. You could see the love he possessed for all his siblings. ~The Beavers were adorable!! I loved them! ~I think Tilda's best scene was one of her first with Edmund. Even I was thinking "Wow. She's really nice." You could see her really getting a grip on Ed, sort of playing a parental role, one could say, aluding to that she could see the empty space where he was missing his father. ~The wolves were very real and scary! Maugrim takes you by surprise twice. I nearly jumped right out of my seat! ~The frozen river scene was really cool! I've been anxious to see that one for a long time. ~The Centaurs were amazing! Just how I pictured them in the book. Disapointments: ~I really felt like the White Witch didn't fear Aslan enough. In the book, it describes Jadis during her meeting with Aslan at his camp, as never quite looking him in the eye. She did more than that. That was a huge part of the book for me: that Jadis feared Aslan. She knew she had no power compared to him. And she also didn't show any sign of fear when Father Christmas was mentioned, or when Ed said something about Aslan, as were detailed in the book. ~Aslan didn't seem like the Aslan in the book. Since I read the book as Aslan being a Jesus figure, it was disappointing (but expected) to not see film Aslan portrayed the same. Like when the Pevensies told Aslan that Edmund had betrayed them, he seemed to act as if he were surprised. In the book, one can tell that Aslan clearly already knew, and knows what's coming. And for one agonizing moment, Aslan seemed...weak to me. Like thinking "Oh, wow. This certainly complicates things...hmmm...well, it's gonna be harder than you think." And he didn't seem wild. Aslan is a wild lion. I don't think the children seemed frightened at the sight of him. Mrs. Beaver says something like you're crazy or plain stupid if you can't approach him without your knees knocking. On the way to the Stone Table, the girls simply place their hands on him without his permission. In the book, even when Aslan asked that they did, they were hesitant at first. ~Peter seemed a bit too bossy or protective at times. I think that was what Will and Andrew were after. It wasn't a big deal, because, to a certain extent, I think Lewis created Peter like that. ~Susan begged way too many times to go home! The children are excited to be in Narnia. Even in Susan, there's a sense of wonder. It's just because she's sensible, she's asks a couple times if they can go back in the book. ~The Beaver's didn't describe Aslan as the all powerful King enough. They made more of an effort on the children saving Narnia. ~I was cringing when I heard -- was it Father Christmas? -- say that the Winter was ending because of the children. No, no, no! It's because of Aslan. Everything is because of Aslan! Aslan could save Narnia in a second...all on his own. It's he that brings spring back to Narnia. ~Father Christmas forgot the last part of his line: Lucy: Can't I fight? I mean, I think I'm brave enough. Father Christmas: Battles are very ugly. Ok, it was something like that. But he forgot the last part of the sentance, "...when women fight." Ah ha! There! That's better...Lewis did have a point, there. ~Where was that deep, compassionate relationship between Aslan and the children? He seemd a bit disconnected with them, when really, Aslan loves them more than they could ever know. ~Tumnus in a prison? Didn't like that new touch... ~I wish Ed could've eaten more Turkish Delight, and asked the Witch for more, more times. ~Old Susan = very annoying!! Argh, she was crazy. Well, that's all for now. I'll probably come up with some more after specific discussions come up. I know I have so many "disapointments", but overall, I really liked the movie! I mean, there are tons of things about LotR we all wish we could've changed, but look at us! We're crazy over it! |

I LOVED IT!!!!!! It was soooo good! I really thought it was cast amazingly! I agree with you tho Gwenneth about Aslan not being enough of a Jesus figure. I acctualy picked up a lot of similarities between CON and LOTR. My friend went with, and she doesnt like LOTR. She picked up alot of them too. I tried to explain to her that Tolkien and Lewis were friends and all that.... but most things you say to Li go in one ear and out the other. but I think that that fact(CON and LOTR being similar) might be something some of the creators and such should be worried about. Because those who like LOTR and dont know about JRRT and CSL being friends might be a littl e turned off by it. Seriously, that was my only consern. I havnt read the books for a while, that might be why. |

That's an interesting point. I think some people will walk into the movie theater thinking this will be just like LotR, because the authors both knew each other. But the truth is, although they do have major similarities, they're completely different as well! CoN is a children's book. In other words, it's not as heavy as LotR in description and plot. People will be completely bummed out if they think the climactic battle will be like LotR, because the truth is...it's not! |

I saw it today! I loved it! it was so good. I thought the cast was great (except Jadis should have had black hair like the illistrations in the books lol). Lucy and Edmond were adorable! Lucy was so sweet, she played the part perfectly. Edmond was perfect too. I didn't remember how selfish and just plain bad he was until I wactched it today! Susan and Peter were great too, and all of them worked so well together. Well thats about all I have to say right now
Oh yes, before we went to the movies, we stopped and this store, and they have lots of unusual candy, and they had Turkish Delight! I bought some in honor of the movie . It tasted a bit strange, kind of like bland lemon jelly or somthing. It looked better in the movie!
