The Lion, the Witch, and the Whatever

lythandra and I finally got to see Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. It was an okay movie, but after Lord of the Rings it seemed altogether flat, perfectly-done CGI furries or no. If the editing had been 15% tighter, it would have been a 150% better movie. I've never read the book, but I certainly hope it was better. I got the distinct impression that the centaur was an important character who mostly got edited out; the film sure could have used a lot more characters interacting, and a lot less panning and zooming around snowswept mountain peaks.

Tempo, people! Tempo!

The audio would be done in an hour or so. XD

Seriously, the books are so short and lacking in detail. They're wonderful, but they're the very basic of a story being told in classic fairy tale fashion. The whole battle between good and evil in the movie? It was like a page or two in the book.
