Hi,
I felt like I ought to say this:
I was disappointed. Never having read the book, I went into the movie quite forthright and unbiased, I think. Maybe that was a mistake.
The story is nice, but every major element of suspence is entirely predictable. I won't go into detail and include spoilers, but the impression that is continually created is the following:
"Wow. I predicted this 10 minutes ago already."
The movie is full of pathos and protracts several times. The following dialogue (not original) may reflect the essence of the film:
"Gee - Lucie!"
"Jesus - Edmond!"
"Why - Susan!"
"Ohmygod - Peter!"
"Hell - everybody!"
"We're still alive!"
"Yes, we are!"
"Aslan saved us!"
"He saved everybody!"
"Gee - Lucie!"
"Jesus - Edmond!"
"Why - Susan!"
"Ohmygod - Peter!"
Note the exclamation mark in each and every statement. :wacko: This dialogue is of course fictional, but should give you an impression. One thing, though: I liked the beaver. ;)
Only do go into the movie if you're
a] a huge fan of this universe;
b] going with your kids.
Greetings, Fragbait
