Re: Lion Witch ATW - Impressions
 

I actually didn't like the battle scene in the movie. The way it was shot and scored, it was made out to be a rousing, epic battle with shields shattering and mass death galore. And to be sure, there was a lot of death going on. It's just that the camera cut away every time someone was about to be stabbed. I know this is a children's movie, and I'm not saying it should have depicted decapitations or anything like that. But I really don't think the battle should have been given any more prominence than it got in the book. That scene wasn't the centerpiece of the book and shouldn't have been the centerpiece of the movie. And besides, I would argue that the battle scene is still too intense for somebody under the age of 8 to see.

The best moments of the movie for me are smaller character-developing scenes such as Lucy's visit with Tumnus or the interactions of the four children who are all played by excellent young actors who behave just like real siblings.

By the way, do you think the beavers were disturbed at all by seeing the four children walking around wearing fur coats?

Before I read any of the other posts:

I loved this movie. My brother and me suddenly decided to go to the cinema. Of all the movies, we only cared to see Chronicles of Narnia.
We didn't expect much from it. I was afraid it would be too kiddy, have bad acting and visuals.

But it was great. :D I kinda liked the actors, the digital animals were better than anything I've ever seen before (only Aslan was sometimes kweh). And it wasn't too kiddy. :)

**SPOILER**

And yeah, I didn't care about Aslan enough when he died. They should have given him some more time before the sacrafice.

Any sequels planned? I'll have them. :)
