[QUOTE]Originally posted by Woodside Kid: [QB] Yup. I saw it first showing on Friday morning (working the overnight shift does have its occasional advantages), and I enjoyed the hell out of it. I went with three friends from work, two of whom had never read the book. It was a [i]lot[/i] of fun watching one of them. When it got to the Stone Table sequence, if she had been any farther forward in her seat she'd have been in the next row! Of the four children, I thought the boy playing Edmund was the best-cast of the lot, particulary at the beginning; he was such an awful little shit. I'm afraid I have to disagree with you about Aslan, though. I thought they did a terrific job on him. As for the differences from the book, I noticed a couple of places where they changed some of the dialogue (for the worse, I'm sorry to have to say). I've only read the book twice though (once 25 years ago, once this spring), and I'm not as familiar with it as I am with Tolkien. Since one of my friends is borrowing my copy of the series, I can't check it for myself. One of my co-workers, however, has been a fan of the series since she was a little girl. She was supposed to see the movie on Saturday, so I'll find out what she thinks tonight at work. She's already said that, during the scene in the Beavers' house (which was on a "making of" documentary on Starz), she noticed dialogue that Mr. Beaver spoke in the book coming from his wife. I remember reading an article a couple of months back that said if this movie reaches the $200 million dollar mark, the studio was going to greenlight [i]Prince Caspian[/i]. According to scifi.com's wire, the LW&W made $67.1 million this weekend. Hopefully they'll pull in the rest they need; I'd like to see them do the rest of the series. [/QB][/QUOTE]
