Disappointed...
with Narnia...
decided to go watch it on the big screen coz of the hype it created: the scale of the production that's parallel to LOTR (Lord Of The Rings) but then, I came out of the cinema with a unsatisfactory taste in the mouth.
1) Story too short and too concise
2) Key characters are not given enough time for development
3) Storyline too advanced without establishment
I have read the whole collection of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and CS Lewis did a really fantastic job in painting the world of Narnia with vivid scenery, plots and characters. But the sad thing is the movie did not do the books justice coz everything happened too fast for comprehension.
Why can't the film director take it a little slower and paint the world of Narnia in a pace that equates the original manuscripts of CS Lewis's version? Divide the story into a trilogy and you have plenty of character development.
Like how Peter manages to weld a sword so skillfully at the battle in the end (they actually concise it to the point that it is a big sequential jump to me - the centaurs taught him swordplay in the book)
Sigh...
