**Comparing Narnia and LotR** - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I'm in two minds about seeing this. I've read some positive reviews (though Metro, while giving it a very good write up overall, did say that the battle scenes were like Peter Jackson's epic recreated with fuzzy felt).

I don't care about the Narnia books in the way I care about LotR, but still, I wouldn't want to see them spoiled. I have read a rumour that rather than doing all 7 books they're planning another two movies covering the main storyline of the rest of the books (so that would probably mean no Magician's Nephew, no Horse & his Boy & probably as with the BBC adaptation some years back Prince Caspian & Voyage of the Dawn Treader run together. The BBC didn't adapt The Last Battle either, I remember.
