Watched The Chronicles of Narnia last nite.
Not bad, but still cannot challenge Lord of the Rings la. Lotsa kids eventhough it was the 11.35pm show. The length of the movie was 2 hours 10 minutes.
Remain seated after the show coz during the ending credit there's one extra scene.
Some comments though.
1. Male fawns and centaurs all had naked torso. But when it comes to the females, they're like wearing clothes. WTF???
2. The male fawn walks on its(his) hind legs. Ouestion : Where's his d**k and balls?
3. After Peter killed the wolf with his sword, Aslan asked him to clean his sword. Hello....there's no blood on it. In fact, you don't see blood at all in the movie (must be the UMUM rating).
4. Aslan's army was camped inside a valley. Are they suicidal? You're open for a massacre if the enemy holds the higher grounds. Hmmm, funny also, since the witch knows where Aslan's army is, she should have taken advantage and surprised them while they're in camp.
5. One of the wolfs managed to escape and Aslan's soldiers followed it to the Witch's camp. They also managed to rescue Edmund. Question : Where the f**k were the Witch's sentries?
6. Edmund's archers were stationed on higher grounds during the aerial bombardment on the witch's army by the half eagle/half feline animals. Question : Why didn't they give covering fire while the raid went on? Instead they allowed the Witch's archers to shoot the animals down.
7. The centaurs went to war wearing armour on the torso but was armourless on his horse end part. Assuming his torso was 3 feet high while his horse end part was say 5-7 feet long, he couln't have defended himself well. Question : Shouldn't they be attacked at the most vulnerable part by the Witch's army instead of fighting head on?
8. Peter brought the Witch and her army to a narrow gulley, kononnya a trap. But again, the archers fired just one salvo and after that, just stood by and let them move forward.
9. It is a narrow gulley, suddenly they're fighting hand to hand in a slightly open plain. Huh? Where did that come from?
Good movie but some of the scenes defies logic right?
Comments
Narnia is for kids.
Good observations Myoi. You certainly know your battlefield scenes very well. What's your greatest battle scene of all time?
Narnia is definitely meant for kids. So, with that frameset in mind, I was able to not be so critical of the movie.
What bugs me though, was that why they never bothered to go home to see their mom after all the years? Perhaps the newly found power and glory corrupted the minds. :)

Ya la Camus, about the
Ya la Camus, about the ending part. Must have been kinda powerful incestual relationship..... Hahahaha
The movie didn't do justice
The movie didn't do justice to the book, because it didn't explain a lot of the things in the book (couldn't be depicted in movie pun, unless there was narration).
CS Lewis was a good writer and the book was great, but the movie had to entertain the battle-scene commercial requirements to attract adults like us.
I thought it was fun.
