Yes, but Im saying that I hope the sequal is good, because most of the sequales arn't as good as the original.

That's generally a rule for movie releases; they always to better than the original in the number of viewers in the opening weekend but is never better than the original. Of course, this isn't always the case.

Why isn't the sequal ever as good as the original?

I said that isn't always the case, but if you want to know, tell US why you think they aren't as great; it's ultimately the people's opinion.

Because you can't beat the first one, and the actors are older. I don't know.

Yep I love the books! They are meant to be releasing "Prince Caspian" as a film next.
I think they should have started with the 1st book though(The magicians nephew).
But they wanted books with all 4 of the children in.

Here's a few things i don't agree with:

An animal is king:This is kind of blasphomous, if they wanted a symbol of god use god not an animal

Talking animals: In The Bible a talking animal (snake) caused adam and eve to be cast away from the garden of eden (the snake was the devil)

Santa giving little kids swords and bows and dagers and such: do i need to say it?

It's a book.
A fictional story, I think people get too involved. I love the books, they are magical and fantasy like and the plots are always good. Why do you need to go in depth, the writer was strongly christian and when the film came out church groups bought tickets to give to people, as they thought Aslan represented Jesus (in a good way). You know, because he sacrifices himself for everyone else(and comes back to life).

hronicles of narnia, hands down. the book was an adventure in its own, and i liked reading it very much.

Does anyone think that the story reminded you of the life of Jesus? Because I think it does, what do you think?
Title: Re:C.S. Lewis?
Post by: alical on July 24, 2006, 04:29:59 AM
I think it kinda is like that, the author is very Christian anyway.
And Master Key the Chronicles of Narnia are a series of 7 books not just one. :)

ahh yes, i thought there was only one. Thank you, TZ.
Then, to be more specific, the lion the witch and the wardrobe was my favorite, very exciting at times.
