The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (Movie)

[burgs]

I heard that there was about an extra scene in the credits of the film. I rarely stay for credits, so I missed it. If anyone has seen it, could you let me know? I don't to pay $10 again just for 30 seconds.

Thanks!

Also - it wasn't as true to Lewis' book as critics had been saying. Considerable derivations. There were also many scenes that brought LOTR to mind (the movie).

Still, a good film, if not exactly action packed.

There a topic about this in Flicks, IIRC.
When i see it, I'll definately stay and check for the extra scene.

Saw this last night, the extra scene is:

Spoiler

Lucy going back to the wardrobe at night and being caught by the Professor. He tells her that if you try to go to Narnia you won't be able to. Lucy asks him if she will ever go back and he says "Most certainly and probably when you least expect it."

On the whole I thought it could have been wonderful if not for rather inconsistent directing. For every beautiful, superbly shot scene there was another one that was just far too long. I think about twenty minutes of the film should have ended up on the cutting room floor, as I kept finding myself thinking "why isn't this scene over yet?"

I think this was the director trying to make the film accessible to children by really spelling everything out for them. It's hard to believe that this is the same man who made Shrek so unpatronising.

The final battle was quite gripping, despite initially looking like a pale imitation of LotR (the one 'bullet time' style shot was a bit silly though). The casting was very good on the whole. Lucy and especially Edmund were great, but unfortunately Peter not only looks like Michael York, he acts like him too. Tilda Swinton was fabulous as the White Witch, even though her palace wasn't as imposing as I remember it being.

I think children will really enjoy it, even if it is a bit long for a children's film.

Thanks - that seems rather silly to exclude from the movie, as it was, if memory serves, in the book itself.

I think the biggest thing to remember when watching Narnia 1 is that it's made, cast, shot, etc. mostly for kids...and it could have been made more adult oriented but that's not what they chose, and for the demographic it was made it was really good: *** out of **** for me.
