ive seen a lot of advertisements on tv, some for the movie, but most are for the game.

They've got the same graphics team as Lord of the Rings had, right? And isn't it filmed in New Zeeland aswell?

The preview of it looked like a cross between harrypotter, lotr, and the lion king :-D. Looks pretty good though, and its on my mom's birthday.

well now the advertisments are starting like i see a few everyday so thats gonna make that movie soar up in ratings lol,

 

 

 

hopefully those previews are actual movie scenes, cause i know some movies show preveiws that were never in the movie.

Yeah the company is called WETA and the did all the visuals, costumes, props, etc. in LOTR. The one thing that should be good that since the book is shorter that they will be able to hold true to the plot.

idk then again its only rated PG, so theres no good gore involved its gonna be like limited to like jsut knockin a person out or sumthing

I think it has the potential to be very good, based on a few points:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.being set way back when, the characters aren't going to have stupid haircuts which will look ridiculous in a few years time (I'm looking at you, Harry Potter and co.),

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.it's not really a "cult" thing, so there is less potential for mobs of die-hard fans getting annoyed because their favorite line was cut out,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.there isn't (or shouldn't be) and swirly, sparkly magic in the books -- nobody casts (in my remembrance) fireballs or lightning bolts, so there should be no opportunity for them to say to themselves "ah, let us sacrifice quality of character development and plot for the sake of computer graphics",

 

 

 

.it's filmed in New Zealand (I take it), which could make even a b-movie look like an epic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Really, I think that this time if they just stuck to the plot of the book they'd be onto a winner; that wasn't possible with the Lord of the Rings, at least, not without extending the life expectancy of man by a few years so that we could watch it. This time, though, I can't see a real problem with it. No, the problem would come were they to try and make the Magician's Nephew, in which Narnia is created -- I can't see how they could really do that on film. They could sure do the rings right, however.
