Which you might take to mean, I finally got to the cinema to see one of the big three Christmas Films (Harry Potter, King Kong, Lion Witch and the Wardrobe), so much thanks goes to Hopea Hia to agreed to go with me. Especially as I missed our annual trip to the cinema last Christmas!!!
But, wow.... I know that Narnia hasn't had the best of reviews so far, but it is an amazing film. The feel of the englishness is there (even Leslie Neilson as Aslan doesn't sound really American). I know that C.S.Lewis was suppose to have been against any film adaptation, mainly due to the fact that what the human imagination can do is so much more than the celuloid world. However, this has had as much care, if not more, than was given to Lord of the Ring.
If I had any crititizims, it would be that they have tried too hard to get their PG rating. Edmund is stabed and Peter pinned to the ground through his arm during the finakl battle, and yet they appear to suffer no loss of blood. Yes, you can have too much blood I know, but you can sanitize it too much.
But I would heartedly reconmend this film to everyone. If you like fanasty adventure films, if you were a fan of the books, if you just like damn good films, if you have a couple of hours free and want to go to the cinema.
So that just leaves me with Harry Potter and King Kong to see....... any takers.....???
