EDITED FOR RETARDEDNESS:

Nice. Really looking forward to it myself. Disney + 3 of the biggest visual effect studios in the world working together. I really wanna see what they have managed to do. I remember watching the old tv series of Narnia @ christmas times when I was "young". Nice the finally see it in a full production movie.
It pissed me off that the screen that I had the displeasure of seeing was really shaky and made
me nauseous at times. The visual effects were mediocre at times. The best part though was the story
itself. It is one of those movies that you want it to keep going. Oh yeah and I wish they did a little
more character study and background. They kind of throw you right in there expecting you to already
know a little about the book prior to "The Lion, the Witch, and the wardrobe".
I realized after watching the movie and seeing something online that it is really early Biblish
stories. I can't really get into detail with that without spoiling the story.
It really does sound familar to me...like I known the story as a kid. I want to see this book. I hear the game got good ratings, but the comerical dosen't show game footage.
EDIT
It seems that british people always get the part on the fantasy movies....well is this movie british?

Lol I want to see it. Obviously Jesus is personified as a lion in it. I want the game too...

But of course, both C. S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien were Christians as were I believe most of the "Inklings". Both series of books have Christian parables throughout. Great reading all around. Lewis went through a crisis of faith for quite some time and after peeling Christianity apart layer by layer he ended up as a devout believer.
For the poster above who mentioned the "book before" The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe technically The Magician's Nephew was written 5 years AFTER TLTW&TW. Lewis just opted to go back and tell the story of how Digory discovered Narnia and how the wardrobe attained it's ability to be a portal to Narnia. As for any of the Pevensie children they were introduced in TLTW&TW so there would be no leading up to them. The ONLY thing of import from TMN would be the telling of how Jadis came to Narnia and who and what she really was.
I am glad though I have heard nothing but good about it. I am going to see it tomorrow ( technically tonight I suppose ). I really do hope they follow through with the rest of the books. From what I had heard rumoured there was at least plans for 4-5 films. Considering each book is barely over 200 pages on average that it reasonable enough to me.
I had to edit to point out the spooky irony that the Ad that kept popping up on the top of the page here while I was posting was for AO: Shadowlands. Why is it spooky irony? Shadowlands was the name of the film depicting the live of C.S. Lewis ( played by Sir Anthony Hopkins ) as well as a play by the same name :P

Well, you know how you feel when you wait for an MMO to come out and when it does you feel like you've paid to play it's beta test for another 6-9 months before anything even thinks of working the way it should? Being a network engineer you feel that way about anything Microsoft puts out."

Well yes, the story actually takes place in in England during WWII bombings. The story is VERY brittish ( to begin with...of course Narnia itself isn't Brittain :P )
If I recall correctly even the TV series that was made of it in the 80s was made by the BBC. Since Lewis, Tolkien and the other Inklings were all Oxford Alumni it's just right that it's the Brits that get the roles. :P

I am reallly mad at this gay article. If it was not a Christian movie, than he would not have said this. It seems like everyone is anti-christian these days, but if some makes a movie promoting Islam or some other relgion than all the "critics" are sure to defend it but there is no room for christians.....its sad.This link
Well, yes, sadly Christianity gets a lot of flack now whether it be warranted or unwarranted. I am a proud born again Christian myself so I won't even get into the prophetic ramifications of such acts, especially not here.
As for the article itself the guy sounds like a twit. But ever since an ABC film critic reviewed a little know at the time film called "Star Wars" back in the 70s calling it "worthless" and saying "this film will flop and amount to nothing" I have learned critics generally don't know what they are talking about. Keep this in mind: A Critic is a Critic because he/she could not actually make it in the field they critique. As long as you remember that you'll realise just about everything they say is fairly meaningless. Whether it be good or not.
In the end, this person is a sad little film critic ( not even for a major venue ) and C.S. Lewis has gone down in history as a benchmark for fantasy literature. One will be remembered 50 years from now, the other will vanish into obscurity.
Christianity aside, what harm could ANY family film do that teaches morality? God forbid we do that! Meanwhile, films like "Saw" and "Saw 2" make money. Meh...

I guess your right. Critics are aweful. I read an article some critic wrote about the Hulk and I went to see it because he made it sound awesome but it ended up being a piece of junk (still had great potential, but heck, it hardly had a moral!) , it was not nearly as good as spiderman or batman begins.
The Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of the Rings will always be my favorite fantasy books. (i bet JK Rolings got a bunch of her ideas from them)
Ang Lee, he directed Hulk and now his new movie.... well he's on the fast track to crapsville.

The guy hit the nail on the head with Batman Begins. But, I'm not sure.. I think he got a little too involved with Chronicles of Narnia...

Batman Begins review.
It is obvious by his review that he has a grudge against good movies and christianity. The way he explains stuff sounds like he made up his mind before he even saw the movie.
I was surprised at how enthusiastic Christian groups and churches are over this movie. There may be biblical similiarities but I remember a time when Christian groups frowned on productions that flaunted magic and such. White magic, black magic, all witchcraft to them.
How things have changed.
Just saw it, Loved it, Great Family movie, great fun and fantasy, I'm a born again Christian and so this movie hit on an even deeper level. The music was excellent, acting was great, and that little girl who plays Lucy is just too cute.
Hope the others get made, there is a ton more story to come.
If I'm not mistaken, The Chronicles of Narnia recieved some of the same kind of flak from similar people, as had LoTR: This was more popular a couple decades ago, but none-the-less.
Sometimes people take things for what they just see on the surface, and don't delve towards the deeper matter at hand, causing them to literally judge a book, by it's cover.

You're quire right. Both LoTR and CoN received a lot of flak for their uses of magic and mystical creatures by the bible thumpers back in the 50s. The only difference is that Harry Potter probably will not be accepted by Christians anytime soon. While it's not the concern of magic for most "modern" Christians since magic can just be another term for miracle, it's more so the unlying stories behind each series. LoTR and CoN are quite literally Biblical Parables. Harry Potter is not. Right now LoTR and CoN are accepted as different venues of ministry as is any Christian Rockband. But just because Christian Rock is accepted my pastors and preachers worldwide I wouldn't expect to hear them blasting Metallica in church anytime soon. That's about as close of a comparison as I can get.
Speaking as a Christian from a Christian perspective LoTR and CoN can be used a ministry tools, hence their acceptence. I, personally, can't stand the Harry Potter series for many reasons. I will gladly admit that I have not read every book. I made it roughly 3/4 of the way through the first book before I had taken all of Rowlings writing style as I could. That's not a religious opinion in any way, shape, or form. I just do NOT care for her writing. I think it's great that she has gotten children interested in reading again, but I don't like how she is lauded as a Massiah of Literature as many people do. She's just one in a long chain of many writers, every generation, who have done the same thing. That, in and of itself is an honor.
Now, to the topic. I just got back from seeing the movie myself and I have to say it was done REALLY well. I was wondering how it would translate from print to screen. If you've read the CoN you realise that each individual story itself is really pretty short. However, they did a good job keep the story nearly precise to the letter. I would say about 90% accurate, save a few changes here and there in the pace of the story and of course the dialogue to modernise things a bit. I will say that I would have been MORE than happy to sit through a 3 hour film should they have written in The Magician's Nephew as say the first 40 minutes of the film ( which would easily be more than enough time to tell the story for that book ). However, I guess being Disney Studios ( which I am still personally agast that Disney took on the series, but I will touch on that in a secoind ) they opted to follow the books as they were written, not their story;ine chronology.
The funniest thing I think I personally heard on the news today was a Disney Exec, who was questioned on the Christianity of the film, saying "If C.S. Lewis were alive now he would tell you that he did not write a Christian book and we believe we are not making a Christian movie. " Well, this man obviously knows NOTHING about good Ol' Jack Lewis. He would now and has in the past openly admitted that the story is based in Christianity. He was never shy about that.
Either way I appluad the film and look forward to seeing more. I would like to note that Tilda Swinton ( some of you may remember her as Gabriel from Constantine ) did an excellent job as Jadis, the White Witch. She fits the image I have had in my head since I was a child about that character ( save the fact that she wasn't over 7 feet tall :P )

So wait, theres small child actors aplenty in this film you say? Strike Three for me! If there is anything more annoying than child actors, I haven't found it. They manage to ruin anything they touch.

I wouldnt say its the children that ruin movies they are cast in...its the adults that direct them to act cutesy and dumb. I think this one will be different though
Professor Hubert Farnsworth - That question is less stupid but, you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.
chronicles of narnia will be a good movie. although there are 4 kids as the actors, i dont think the producers would put out such a influential movie as CoN without it being perfect acting. i agree kids can screw over a movie i highly doubt that they will in this one, i am looking forward to this movie cause it should be amazing and i hope it is.
