Long Live Narnia!!!

Ok, Instead of talking about the strengths and weaknesses of the entire film, I really just want to talk about one scene in particular: the battle scene. I am a HUGE sucker for intense and overly dramatic war scenes like the ones from The Last Samurai and Troy. The opposing sides in this battle gave it the potential to be extremely cheesy: A fairy/ice witch battling a 12 year old boy and an enormous lion (Liam Neeson)? Yeah, it definitely could have been bad. But they did it so beautifully. They were constantly changing the camera angles showing their formations and intense faces with awesome music in the background. And right before the Narnians? attacked all noise stopped and it was completely silent while the two sides came running at each other. Then all of a sudden intense battle noises picked up right as the two met. It was SO powerful! The movie is definitely worth seeing because of that one scene.

Oh, and I don't think I've ever cried so much for a computer generated lion in my life. It was truly pathetic.
