And battle scenes have all looked the same since Braveheart, so you're just sort of waiting to see who wins rather than being amazed at the action.<BR/><BR/>I should mention, they also sort of lift from that movie "Troy" for part of the battle.The Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836241071795980225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5256317.post-8881866727535017952008-05-21T11:31:00.000-05:002008-05-21T11:31:00.000-05:00The NPR reviewer mentioned that half of the movie ...The NPR reviewer mentioned that half of the movie was taken up with 2 long battles and that the director apparently felt you can never have too much galloping!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5256317.post-40612827892214032162008-05-21T09:07:00.000-05:002008-05-21T09:07:00.000-05:00Asha, on Rotten Tomatoes over 60% of the reviewers...Asha, on Rotten Tomatoes over 60% of the reviewers who saw this movie liked it (and I've read a number of reviews myself who said it was pretty good), so you should probably just count The League's review as one among many and go see this movie if you want to, anyway. If anything, I think I'm MORE curious than ever to go see this movie now that The League disliked it so much and so many other people liked it. I'm always curious about movies that have sharply divided reactions. (plus, The League has strongly disliked a number of movies that I've enjoyed and which did well in theaters- The Matrix springs to mind as a good example).J.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03903186469796595837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5256317.post-5066280348790792982008-05-20T22:43:00.000-05:002008-05-20T22:43:00.000-05:00Hi Asha.

It doesn't mean the movie was necessarily great. <BR/><BR/>I sincerely hope you enjoy the movie. Alas, I did not. <BR/><BR/>And I confess, rhpt, I am curious to read the book to see what changes they made for the film.The Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836241071795980225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5256317.post-6848714610871671922008-05-20T22:09:00.000-05:002008-05-20T22:09:00.000-05:00I didn't think the book was all that great either....I didn't think the book was all that great either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5256317.post-48856143732185824542008-05-20T21:37:00.000-05:002008-05-20T21:37:00.000-05:00Hey there Prince Caspian is one of the biggest mov...Hey there Prince Caspian is one of the biggest movies this year. <BR/>I have heard a lot of good reviews of it.<BR/>I am going for it this weekend!<BR/>Can't wait to see it..Asha BGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09033943625000978025noreply@blogger.com
