All the movies that tried to capture Narnia failed to capture CS Lewis' brilliant prose

As a huge Lewis fan, I have to admit that I didn't hate that preview. But I need to hear Aslan's voice. If they modulate it into something that doesn't sound like a woman, I MAY give it a chance. Otherwise, I am still out. Such a dumb decision.

She's trying to turn the story into something it isn't. A lot of cgi slop. The white witch looks kind of hot though.

It's 2026 dude. Any Narnia movie, any fantasy movie, is going to have cgi "slop". I thought the effects looked great in the trailer.

Some downvotes come from the fact that Aslan despite being the most obvious Christ figure ever in literature and the movie presenting the lion as a male lion is voiced by Meryl Streep. Basically they pissed off the main built in fan base fir this series with an asinine casting choice.

From the director of Barbie...

A decidedly feminist director using a female voice for a male lion's role, likely to downplay any hint or respect to the source material.

The rainbow colored CGI slop that's been the bane of movie goers for the last decade.

How's that for starters?

*A question was asked, an honest reply was given. Zero reason for a downvote.
none

Hate to admit it because Magicians Nephew is my favorite of the books and I haven’t been hyped by ANY of the news coming out…

But that did look pretty good

There is the use of CGI and then there is the complete reliance on CGI. Godzilla Minus One (no Godzilla was not a man in a suit but a lot of the other effects were real), The Odyssey and Furiosa are three recent that looked good because they didn't just completely go green screen. This one looks 100% green screen.

I really dislike the use of Stairway to Heaven. Seems cheap, manipulative and out of place.

Yeah. This kind of thing works in A Knight's Tale. I can't see it working here.

Looked like it could be a fun movie.

That little boy looks like the fat kid from Lord of the Flies on Netflix.
