The White Witch

Post by lee »

I saw the Narnia movie today and guess what?!

There were POLAR BEARS in it. But they were on the side of the White Witch. They were "evil" polar bears. Wah. Why are the polar bears part of the bad guys?

I didn't think the kid actors were very good. Makes you appreciate the Harry Potter kids.

Whoa! That's scary. Do you think they are evil because the witch enslaved them? Maybe she will only give them food if they are evil. I think that's what happened with Snowy.

Was it a good movie?

Shnoodles,

The movie wasn't all that great. The kid actors were kind of weak, makes you appreciate the Harry Potter kids.

I thought it was also pretty S.L.O.W. It took them like AN HOUR to even get in the god$@*# wardrobe. Cmon people.

There were a lot of LOTR jokes I wanted to make. Like they again got helped by eagles, again the "powerful" character dies and comes back and again there are Polar Bears trying to eat them. Wait...

I'm OK!

It was just a bit stuffy and I fainted.

I'm OK now. I'm going to read about bunnies with Petri now. It's hard to turn the pages though. Do you think Schlop could come over and help? I'd ask him myself, but I'm not yet quite cool enough to talk to him. Almost!
Where's Petri?

My name is Prince Schlopian, you killed my father...

Hey Snuffles,

Wow, this thread is pretty old. It hasn't seen the light of day in a while. I was just rereading it and wow, that's like the most I've ever heard Duddles say at one time- crazy! He was so talkative that day!

Anysneech, I just saw Prince Schlopian. Hmm... I didnt see any polar bears in the film. There was a brown bear though who had a few funny moments. And I'm pretty sure I spotted a teddy bear in one of the opening scenes before they go to Narnia. That's it for the bear report.

I tried really hard to lower my expectations enough to like this movie. The hardest thing to overcome was the truly terrible accent that Prince Schlopian had- some mix between Russian and Spanish and it really took away from his character. Blech. The main 4 kid actors are still truly awful (especially the little girl). I was also realizing that the dynamic between the siblings is just not intriguing- they're always snapping at each other and mistrusting each other. I think your main characters need some level of camaraderie to get you rooting for them.

There was one scene I liked where they do a sneak attack on the castle, with the help of some griffins. That was kind of cool. But the CG animals, specifically the mice, were so distracting. The badger kind of looked like Duddles though so he was cute.

There was also one scene they filmed at this cool beach in New Zealand that I knew about so that was cool. And there was a water god made out of water that ate the bad guys. But otherwise, definitely a very linear and disappointing film.

Would've been better with polar bears!
