read LOTR novel 1st bro...
each time Legolas took one arrow, then magically it will add 2 more arrows...
if Legolas took 2 arrows, it will add 4 more...and it continues....
dat is elf's power...lol...
read it 1st then condemn....for narnia....i dont have any clues...

Finally managed to watch this film, and I must say, it really is epic. It pretty much lived up to everything I'd ever hoped for, and even more, it was better than the first film.

The scope and scale of the film is much bigger and darker than the first film.

I'd give it an 8.5 out of 10.

LA Times :

"The film's pronounced split between violence and softness notwithstanding, Prince Caspian is finally a more polished effort than "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" and squarely in the tradition of the kind of teenage movies the Disney organization used to make before teens discovered horror and gore."

well, i am no big fans of novel, thanks for the clarification anyway
btw, it's not condemning, just curiosity

I'm going OT a bit here.

In the LOTR novel, it was mentioned that Legolas recycles his arrows by retrieving it from enemies.

which episode u read??
OT TS...

my bad....
just take and read back d 1st novel and yes...legolas take it back from d dead orcs!!
sory for bad info...cuz i felt like i read it!!!
maybe different magical novels!!!

if you question the logic of unlimited arrows, then maybe you shouldn't watch any fantasy themed movies like LOTR/Narnia

Since they don't make sense in our real world either! Where can I see a real dwarf??

Just enjoy the movie la k

Well... its a fact that Susan got the bow and arrows from Father Christmas. Maybe they have magical influenced... hahah

Anyway, right now... I dont see it is relevant to label narnia as a kid's story (the way it is written, yes but the storyline... not that 'childish' enough. Well, people (or parents) finally see that point when the Pevensie kills people around. Its not their fault anyway.. they are adults in kids body right? They already rule Narnia and been into wars... duh... (Some parents said, they shouldn't allow the movie to be Umum rated because the kids is killing people... err....) (another flaw... you can't actually put 18PL anyway)

Same with Harry Potter... I'm still irked when people still claiming Deathly Hallows as kids story... errr.... people dying all around...


real "dwarf"... err... its ok if some people with it are ok with it but if you said that to achondroplastic that word... they would truly launch a fit since its still a sensitive topic to emphasize on their conditions. I thought there's achondroplasia in malaysia...

swt, so now no more magical arrow and elf? and u asked me to read the novel first

nah, i dun mind abt those stuffs, i fancy fantasy themed movies more than any other genres
both narnia and LOTR are good, but of course we know who is the big winner when both of em are compared to each others

just lol at me...
i admit it...my mistake here....

Again, I think it is not fair to compare Narnia and LOTR.

LOTR's target audience are young adults and adults. Narnia's targetting tweens/teens. If you put aside the killings going on in Narnia, you can see that the way the author wrote the book - it is intended for kids ( the jokes/comments made in the storyline in brackets and etc ).

There is no way that a kid in his/her teens will be able to understand the complexity and appreciate the richness of the world in Tolkien's book but in Narnia, it's a different story. I have read both books before the movies were out and I frankly say that I enjoy both of them in their own way.

Also, most of classic children's stories (like Brothers Grimm) involve killing, mutilation, decapitation and etc etc as well. The authors back then were not as... 'child-sensitive' as the modern authors, so death and killings in those stories aren't a surprise.

i ain't comparing, and i never said that narnia is bad in comparison. as the matter of fact, i think narnia is quite good, better than the first movie
but IF reli wanna compare (as many of the forummers here did, at the beginning of the pages), LOTR suits my taste better, but that does not make Narnia bad, as i understand that the target audience are different for both books, 1 is like adult-fantasy themed while another is kids-fantasy themed

actually, when they walk pass a dead body with an arrow, they will pull it up and put in back( if u watch LOTR extended version).

but susan dnno la, but not pretty, get annasophia robb to act in narnia la, sure many pedophliedes watch

i watch narnia last friday and it was really great movie plus i watch it at gardens really enjoy it very much
there is a scene where the cat were tied up.haha.really cute

Well this is aimed at kids rather than adults. LOTR on the other hand is an adult oriented movie with much more character development.

LOTR was a masterpiece while this kiddy fantasy movies are just trying to reap in the profits and success of the franchise. The trailer is very misleading. Its a fun movie but not worth the money to watch it in the cinema. Better to just rent a dvd once its out.

Watched it last nite.

Not bad. After reading alot of bad reviews on the movie, I went in the cinema without any expectation.
Boy, am I lucky. Really worth my 10bucks.

The movie is better than the first one. Tho I like the fantasy(christmas feeling)like in the first one. Hehe.
The thing that irk me, well a bit lah... is the tree and water creature that appeared on the last fighting scene. Hard to not see the similarities to LOTR.
I havent read the book yet, so I dont know if it mentioned about these creatures.
Beside all that, it is a good movie!

it is worth the 10 bucks..
i'll give it a rating of 10/10!!
Narnia rocks!!!!!!!!!

Am I the last to watch Narnia ? hell its a GREAT movie !!! I love it sooo much! And Susan look so cool with her archery stuff!!!!

Anyway, who know where can I download the soundtrack?? I love it so much !!!
