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

It was an enjoyable movie, with a different feel than the book for me. FotR was a bit closer that particular mark, but that is all subjective.

If I hadn't known that Disney was involved I don't think I would have guessed, but I am looking forward to any future films. the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe is my favorite of this series, and so I am a bit more critical, (just as I was overly critical of the LotR movies), but I think it quite possible that I would like a film version of say the Horse and His Boy, the Silver Chair or Dawn Treader better than the books.

Suprisingly, it did seemed a bit rushed once the characters were in Narnia, unlike LotR where it didn't seem rushed at all. But all this must be taken with a grain of salt, I am rather an Ent...and a critic.

And Essex is right, do stick around after the credits start rolling.
