What I liked about this movie, over the first, is that this movie dealt more with reality vs. imagination (as opposed to the good vs. evil in the first) - hell, a line from the mouse was "You have no imagination!" The bad guys represent the end of Narnia, the destruction of the talking animals, centaurs, etc. It's one of the reasons why the Peter and Susan won't return to Narnia . . . they're growing up, and won't believe in that kind of "stuff" anymore (I remember that from the books . . . at least I think I do). That, and I thought the battle scenes were better in this one. No, he was talking about the fallacies and shortcomings of a movie that, no matter how solid or formidable it was, was in no way an appropriate or sufficient to the book or Lewis' world. Admittedly, it couldn't have possibly been, but no one can respond to the undersuse of Lucy or the WW by saying it should've been taken up with Lewis. |
