Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith and Richard Harris...

Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith and Richard Harris terrible?

If you're referring to the kids, well, they're kids, and they're pretty decent by those standards I'd say.

I've only seen the first two films but they weren't bad at all, they were very well made films, and quite entertaining.

Even if a film wasn't very well made, if it was still a very entertaining...

I think the HP films are hella fun, they're not in the league of LOTR but that's because they're not epics, they're like fantastical detective stories, but for what they are, they're quite enjoyable.

Yeah, the big distinction there is that both Tolkien and Lewis were devout christians which influenced their work to some extent, I haven't read or seen Golden Compass but I hear it's very very anti...

Yeah because it's fantasy, but also because Lewis and Tolkien were close friends and shared some stylistic similarities.



Harry Potter is made for children, or at least it was when it started,...

The only thing I didn't like about Hook was Julia Roberts as Tinkerbell, and she wasn't bad so much as she was miscast. Tinkerbell is one of those classic silent characters like Charlie Chaplin's...

Terabithia > Hook IMO.

But I really liked Hook too, I don't understand why so many people hate it.

It did have some corny music montages and stuff. But overall I liked it and how it balances the fantasy world with the struggles the boy has to put up with in real life, it didn't feel manipulative...

Yeah.

If I had to vote for best fantasy kids movie, it wouldn't be Harry Potter or Narnia. It would be Bridge to Terabithia.

Well, maybe it's not technically a fantasy movie since it's all...

Anyway. I think LOTR vs Narnia would have been a more interesting literary comparison if not a cinematic one. They have more in common at least.

Weren't Tolkien and C.S. Lewis like BFF or...

Not to mention over the years certain parts of a book may lose it's relevance and it could use an update.

Like I said, with two completely different mediums you need to make changes.

Just because it worked on paper doesn't mean it will work on film. You can't condense a novel that might take 10 hours...

But the whole point of reading books is using your imagination. The problem with adaptating books is that it doesn't matter how close it follows the book, it still might not play out the way you'd...

Blah. To me, if a movie doesn't make SOME changes from the book, it's doing something terribly wrong.

I mean, what do people who read the book want? For all the same events to play out? What's the...

What do you mean by details?

Continuity errors? Factual inaccuracies (which matter not in a fantasy film) or changes from the book?

I didn't mind the Aragorn/Arwen scenes. Who wouldn't want to bang a Liv Tyler elf? Seriously.

I don't think Arwen was even in the Bakshi LOTR, which btw deserves more credit than it gets, Jackson...

I enjoyed the Potter films that I've seen, they're great escapist kids movies, but the LOTR trilogy is a cinematic masterpiece.

I don't think it's an insult to compare Rowling to Tolkien, she's...
