<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I haven't seen any Narnia films so I don't know if they are as good as the books. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>While the script was pretty faithful to the books, the special effects and acting left a <B>lot</B> to be desired. I'm still waiting for a polished, big screen version. Even if they play with the adaptation more, I'd love to see a decent White Witch and animals that aren't just actors in zip-up suits. Also, they didn't even make <I>The Magician's Nephew</I> or <I>The Horse and His Boy</I>.<P>Other fantasy movies I've seen are <I>Willow</I>, <I>The Princess Bride</I>, <I>Dragonheart</I> (ick, I hated that movie—no offense to those who liked it...) <I>Jason and the Argonauts</I> (the old one, mind you), and of course, <I>The Matrix</I> and <I>Star Wars</I>. Hmm... probably more, but they're not jumping into my mind.<P>They all had their merits, but nothing that I've seen holds a candle to the eye-candy/epic scope/special effects/acting/etc. of FotR or TTT. I've gone hyphen crazy.
