Grand Movie.

Rating: 10/10 (9 December 2005)

When I first read the books I knew that neither Narnia nor Middle Earth could be done on film. Happily...computers make things easy now. Pretty true to the book...which means its better than good. Can't wait until the next one. Its quite a ride...without being as unwieldy or outlandish as Lord of the Rings. Lets face it...Tolkien created a story that is a bit hard for people to watch if they don't already know whats going on. This on the other hand...crystal clear, and simple with out being stupid. More subtle than Lord of the Rings...and the authentic article when compared to Rowling's rip off. People will complain about its religious overtones...but I seriously doubt they will go to it anyway. And if they do...they likely will enjoy it if they allow themselves to sit back and watch the movie. Oh well...their loss.
