The Chronicles of Narnia
December 10, 2005 – 4:22 pmI finally got to watch it last night. There were tons of people outside waiting, and I was starting to freak out because I knew I was bound to meet a teacher. (I couldn’t forget the last time I went (which was last year) I met a bunch of teachers).
And…to my absolute horror, there were the teachers. They sat in the row right in front of me. And partly disturbed my watching.
But anyway, leave the disturbance behind. And get to the movie.
It was fantastic. Right from the beginning with the German bombers down to the resurrection of Aslan to the Pevensie children stumbling out of the wardrobe. The animals were amazingly done, comparable to the Lord of the Rings’ stuff.
The movie was well done, faithful to the book for the most part. The spiritual side of it was brought out well, especially about Aslan.
Except I wished I hadn’t read the book first. That took away the tension and excitement because I knew what was going to happen anyway. So I recommend watching before reading.
For Lord of the Rings fans though, don’t expect it to be like it. While Narnia may belong to the same fantasy genre, it is generally much brighter, more for kids. And somehow, the movie is done in a way that just doesn’t make you cry. Aslan, while I will always love him, comes out late, just goes through. Audiences don’t really have time to build a relationship with him.
That’s the down part. No tears. But it is great, for the rest. Go watch it, if you haven’t.
Rating: 9/10
