cheribery Well, at least you give us hope that some will be on the ball enough to use Search. Keep up the good work.
@creaky, I love how you found those threads where people loved the fighting by the Lion. The Lion was in the movie for a whole 3 minutes and the only fighting he did was not even fighting and was not shown in the movie... Some people just blow things out of proportion. Well, at least you were going to watch the movie anyways, so it is not like you were conned into buying it. I thought the movie was nice, but not worth buying. This would have been better as an "R" rated movie with more character development, I mean it takes more than 1 night to learn how to swing a sword, especially those European swords. Those things are sluggish and require lots of training to properly wield. However, you cannot ask for too much in PG movies. I would have liked to see the main Centaur do some more fighting as well as the Lion...Also, while the story was good, it could have been much better.
Was there a book? Rhetorical question and yes. I've not taken the time to read it, but usually there's a bit more character development in the books than the movies. Also, this is mythical where anything can happen, like talking beavers, pans, centaurs and mystical lions. Makes the screenwriter's task a bit easier. Plus the viewer gets to use their imagination
