Today, however, I can see this post, but nothing before it (the three before it do show in my google reader, but not here). I'm not sure what the problem is, but I am glad that I can comment to tell you that I missed you. <br /><br />I told my dear hubby that we needed to see this film, but he balked saying that he is too old to sit through such a long movie! Maybe I'll twist his arm - tomorrow is my birthday, after all!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09508033779758406137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-50863364931373071362010-01-08T23:33:59.975+11:002010-01-08T23:33:59.975+11:00Jeanne, no comments about the film - haven't s...Jeanne, no comments about the film - haven't seen it and not likely to - but had to comment on your line about Narnia not challenging any Christian doctrine, at least not in a big way. IMO Narnia does do this in many instances. LOL, I'm very politically incorrect when it comes to Narnia! Sshh..

I refuse to read your review because I can't stand to know what movies are about before I watch them... someday because you liked it (and that is enough for me) I will watch it and form my own opinion. I have no idea when that would be though. If we watched it in Trujillo, it would be in Spanish and though I'd understand it, I can't stand the voices they use in translating usually, so I'll probably wait til I can see it in English...<br />anyway, I'm waiting for the youtube to load. Hey, while I'm waiting, I should invite you to my NEW blog... started just 2 days ago!

I am hoping the story will grab me too. I surely do love to be transported, and it sounds like the wings might just be big enough! <br /><br />(Jeanne, the PO has been shut the three times i tried. You'd think I would guess when it involves public holidays, but no.

I was really looking forward to it.<br /><br />It just didn't deliver, IMO. Maybe I'm getting old, I don't know but it just didn't cut it for me.<br /><br />Sure the graphics were amazing but I want more story, more plot, more character development than graphics. (As in the blogging world, Content is King! lol) I just don't get amazing graphics- I prefer the real thing. God's creation (nature) is mind blowing and yet we still need to dress it up with even more colour in these movies. I don't get it. Visually it was a little overwhelming for me...but that's probably just me. I found going to the big flash museum in Canberra gave me sensory overload lol.<br /><br />I thought the plot was totally predictable, so was the character development. In fact, I thought it was Pocahontas meets John Smith redone! Although I did giggle at some of the political comments like, "We will fight terror with terror."<br /><br />Give me a good old drama anyway- one with twists and turns, real scenery and real flash & blood. I can't believe what I'm saying...am I sounding *that* old? LOL<br /><br />Thanks for your thoughts though, I enjoyed reading them.HomeGrownKidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14734650526369790250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-16867602214737074472010-01-01T02:59:12.926+11:002010-01-01T02:59:12.926+11:00Thanks for taking me a bit out of my bubble.

James Cameron films usually do need to be seen on the big screen though.<br /><br />Economically speaking, time is the utility here which I usually use to gauge my comings and goings. When we were 'home' the couples would go to a movie together every Christmas Eve while my mom watched all the grandchildren. Miss that.<br /><br />Lots of thoughts but I so hate when my comments turn into a post.Richelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040133815286428699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-19627996131551078982009-12-31T23:00:31.141+11:002009-12-31T23:00:31.141+11:00my 16 and 18 year old sons both saw it and gave si...my 16 and 18 year old sons both saw it and gave similar review to you Jeanne.Theresehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04866840456840793793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-47305061042644554482009-12-31T07:58:07.652+11:002009-12-31T07:58:07.652+11:00It sounds great.

Sounds rather similar to real life when Australia was colonised, 'there's people there, tough luck we want the place anyway'. <br /><br />Shame I don't see myself being able to get to the movies anytime soon, unless I can con my mother into some night time babysitting cause little miss Bethy is in the heart of separation anxiety phase right now and would scream the whole time if I left her and she knew I was gone :-(caz1975https://www.blogger.com/profile/09665175583347922829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-37694727458857424262009-12-31T07:07:57.257+11:002009-12-31T07:07:57.257+11:00Thanks Jeanne!

I was undecided about whether to go see it or not but it sounds like a great date night with my own beloved. <br /><br />Oh, I think it so grand that I am commenting on the 30th after the first 2 on the 31st.
