I actually really liked Narnia. I'd give it an A-. I'm going to see King Kong this Friday. So far the only real complaint I hear is that it's just too long.

Also, Dodgeball (got it for Christmas on DVD).

the last movie Gromnir saw were the newest harry potter flick.  the first 1/3 of the movie were a complete mess... disjointed.  the rest o' the movie were more coherent, but it still seemed as if Gromnir were getting snippets of story lines that seemed to trail off into nothingness... a bit like what happened with kotor2 as a matter of fact. 

 

HA! Good Fun!

I got the feeling it was cut poorly and some elements very far more stressed out in the book. Atleast I

Of course Blank and mothman would enjoy Narnia. :rolleyes:

 

Yes, the Harry Potter film does seem like edited highlights of the book. If you've read the book, this isnt a bad thing as it (like all the others) has a lot of tedious padding.

For those who haven't read goblet then the film can seem rather disjointed giving no focus to supporting characters and thus fails to evoke any reaction when one of them dies. (Although i thought that character's death was pretty underwhelming and pointless in the book as well.)

Yesterday I hid myself off from the world, unplugged my phone and watched discs 2 thourgh 4 of my Firefly DVD set and then finished the day with Serenity. I am a leaf on the wind

For Harry Potter, I actually thought the film gave the dead kid more depth than the book. In the book it was very underwhelming, but in the movie, the kid was pretty charming and came off pretty heroically. Ah well, the next movie will actually have a major character die. I do think this one was much better than the last two, so I'm hoping the trend continues.

Actually, the religious background of the movie didn't mean that much to me. I mostly looked at things like acting, plot, accuracy to the book, characters, special effects, etc. And yes, I did like the books (but not really for the religious aspect), so that helped.

 

Got a problem wit dat?

I wasnt being serious, i just remember Hades' overreaction to the film (before watching it) and then me watching the film thinking: well apart from the Jesus lion there's nothing exclusively christian about this film.

Well I decided to see Narnia yesterday , had 2 free passes so ended up seeing that movie - I thought it was done pretty well , and sure you can point out the Christian references but only if you are offended by them otherwise it shouldn't matter- the CGI was good too -

Just got back from seeing Narnia. Good movie. It's been a long time since I read the book so I don't know how true they are to sticking with it.

What?! The lion is a reference to Jesus? Are there more hints other than the sacrifice and the rebirth since similar stories have existed long before Christ's time?

 

Haven't read the book but the movie seems a good family film, though there is too much baby-crying and I am a firm believer in the practice of duck taping over crying children. :ph34r:

Its not so much the sacrifice and rebirth, more the sacrifice to atone for somebody else's sin. CS Lewis intended it to be this way and adopted a very didactic approach to story telling.

I saw Blade 2 and I have to say it's the one of the best pure action flicks ever.

I bought the The Lord of the Rings trilogy the other day, but I'm currently trying to watch Midnight Cowboy as much as I can since I have to do an analysis for my course.

Normally I don't like watching anti vampire films but Blade 2 and 3 are pretty good.

blade 2 and 3 are a joke, the cg is poor, the story is cheesey. END GAME.

I know which is why I tolerate those movies. Seems odd that one would hunt his own kind to extinction.

Well 'half a vampire' and plus - Gabs doesn't like movies where vampires get killed all the time and where santa comes rushing in with Rudolph and nails all the bad guys....

What movies/books have you seen/read where the Vampire is a hero? They sound quite interesting (apart from Blade)
