The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

<< < (8/17) > >>

Lines:
Axerton, they didn't skip it, they're just doing the movies in the order the book was written. I'm pretty sure the plan is to do all six. (Horse and His Boy is one of my favorites, too.)

Jon, I do. But like I said, I haven't seen it, so that's basically an assumption.

Conversely, I'm not sure you'll notice it like I did.

My brother insisted Order of the Phoenix caused him the same problem, it skipped around too much and he didn't know what the fuck was going on half the time. I didn't notice as much because I'd recently read the book and it's entirely possible my memory of the book kinda filled in the blanks for me without me noticing.

Orbert:
I agree on Order of the Phoenix.  I haven't read any of the books, but have watched all the movies, some of them multiple times, and Order of the Phoenix was still confusing in a number of places.  I suppose if you were totally grokking every single line, you'll realize that they do "explain" most of what's going on, leaving you to fill in the blanks, but come on.  It was like half the length of the first HP movie, and people complained that that one didn't do the book justice.  Did they really think chopping it down to a 90-minute feature would work?  Would it have killed them to slip in those five or ten seconds of dialogue here and there to explain what the hell was going on?

MaidMarian:
I can't wait to see it!!  I've loved the whole series all my life and I was pleased with LWW.  I'm glad they're trying to it justice.

Boro_Bandito:
Yeah Axerton, no skipping. The books were written in the order of:
1. The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe
2. Prince Caspian
3. Voyage of the Dawn Treader
4. The Silver Chair.
5. The Horse and His Boy
6. The Magician's Nephew
7. The Last Battle.

Speaking of favorites though, My two favorites are by far the Voyage of the Dawn Treader and The Magician's Nephew. Which while earlier its true I "complained" about the books referencing the Bible (you guys read way too far into it) I do hope the series continues at least as far as the next one.

I've basically decided after sleeping on it that I liked the movie. They really did make it to be viewed one after the other though. Maybe they were banking on children's love of watching movies over and over again, or maybe its a subliminal way of telling audiences they need to read the books to get the full story, thus encouraging reading in viewers. Either way I guess the uninitiated are shit out of luck, good thing I read the books.
