What did /tv/ think of the Narnia trilogy?

there were a few good jokes in the first one

Too British

Good Christian kino.

>>86301266

first movie was great. the rest hammered the christfag analogies too hard

There was a trilogy?

>>86301384
This. Also the main battle in the first movie was absolute kino. Truly an underrated battle scene. Might have to watch it today.

>>86301384
Almost like they're Christian books

>>86301468
Gee, it's like nobody like Christianity anymore. Really makes you think.

>>86301468

Doesn't mean they had to be Christian movies

>>86301384
This is literally exactly how the books are, so good on them for being faithful.

By the way, there are way more books and they are even more religious than these three. It's a shame they decided to stop adapting them. This is far better than anything Snyder has ever done. Well, not a complete shame though, because Silver Chair fucking sucked. But The Horse and His Boy would have been pretty good.

I thought there was only one movie

>>86301266
Shallow and pedantic.

I prefer the BBC version

>>86301496
Holy shit, don't cut yourself on that edge.

>>86301266
the first one was great, it was comfy, well made and whimsical, the rest looked cheap, like that fox tv show with all the fairy tales.

They aren't making anymore movies because Millenials and their kids are mostly irreligious. God is dead.

>Just 27 to 28 percent of people in their 20s and early 30s attend religious services regularly, according to the latest figures from the Pew Research Center. Compare that to the 38 percent of baby boomers who log time in houses of worship, and 51 percent of folks in the silent and greatest generations who still show up for services.

the last book was kinda cool

>>86301670

I really liked the second movie. I liked the idea of all the fantasy monsters getting nearly extinct and replaced by human military.

>>86301548
No dude, there's The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.

>>86305214
Indeed, the second movie is criminally underrated.

>>86301522
Apparently there is another movie in development still. Who knows if it will ever come out. The last movie didnt make much money.

But anon, if she started to get develop these massive boobies in the movies then the characters would have no trouble believing there was a god.

>>86314048
She wasn't "not allowed" in, she wasn't present at all. Doesn't mean she'll never get there later, her fate is left unknown. Lewis himself said her story hasn't been told.

>>86314369
The really sad thing is, Dawn Treader should have been the best movie but they fucked up the adaptation completely.

The first movie was pretty much the best adaptation you could possibly make, Tilda Swinton especially nailed her role as the White Witch. Not much else to say, just a solid family-friendly fantasy movie all around.

The second movie had some pretty kino moments with the Telmarines but Caspian himself had zero charisma and the love subplot was handled terribly. Only worth watching if you really want to see more Narnia.

Dawn Treader was literally one of the worst movies I have ever seen at the cinema, besides the obvious devations from the book, it seemed like Eustace got sidelined in a story that was supposed to be about him, and Reepicheep got horribly flanderized instead of the character development he got in the original. I'm not saying "muh book" is always the answer but every devation made in DT was a turn for the worse.

Lewis seemed to be a crypto-Calvinist though despite his Anglican membership; in the first (chronological) book he only gives speech and logical thinking to certain animals out of deliberate choice. I guess beliefs can change but I'm not convinced Susan would get another chance.

>>86301266
I can't believe they fucked up so hard on Voyage of the Dawn Treader. That was my favorite Narnia book and its a goddamn mess.

Also they shouldn't have done Prince Caspian, that book was a lame rehash of TLTWaTW and the movie felt derivative.

>>86301595
Me too.

>>86306104
What?

>>86302576
Honestly The Hose and His Boy was the best Narnia book and would make the easiest movie, due to how standalone it was.

But yeah, no way in hell it will be made, same with The Last Battle. You can't have Arabic bad guys facing off against a white kid who bones an Arabic princess, as awesome as it would be.

>>86316472

m8 Dawn Treader is just Lewis rewriting a series of Irish folk stories with no real through line and then a adding big ol Jesus ending. It's fun to read as episodic adventures but it had no chance as a film.

>>86316627
>Arabic bad guys facing off against a white kid who bones an Arabic princess

Do Christians not pay taxes? How is this a response?

>>86316989
Its okay I guess. I just felt like a good third of it was a fucking flashback to explain the current state of the land, which was uninteresting to me. I do love that scene of them listening outside the chambers while Caspian is talking to his advisers and one talks about resurrecting the witch.

>>86301266
all of them were shit

>>86317204
I could get that being tedious if you read the book, but if you hadn't it seems necessary to explain shit. I only read the first one and dawn treader later

Can someone remind me what Aslan accomplished by sacrificing his life? I can't remember what the fuck the point was, because the Witch attacks anyways the next day.
