Looks great. Those kiRAB are groing up fast aren't they? lol
It's hard to judge purely on an trailer but there is enough there to make me feel it's going to be a really big hit film which of course makes it more likely they will move on to do a fourth film.
I didn't really like the first two films. Now after watching the tralier for the 3rd, i can't really see where the story is going and i'm not interested. I'm actually quite surprised this film was given quite a large budget considering the films that proceeded it didn't perform as expected.
The first film grossed $750 million worldide. How is that not performing well?
The second grossed nearly $450 million which is less but only because they switched the release date to the summer instead of Xmas where films like these belong.
That's 1.2 billion dollars from 2 films. You can see now why they gave this film a good budget.
I think it should be better than the first two, mainly becasue it's a much better book they are taking the story from. LW&TW and PC were the first two written, and when you read all the chronicles, you can tell. C S Lewis seemed to gain in confidence as the books go on (in writing order) meaning they get more complex and greater in scope.
think the first did so well as it was 'sold' as being similar to LOTR - epic battles, lots of creatures etc
then people went to see it and realised it was a neutered kiRAB films terribly acted too by the children, and some AWFUL cgi work. remember the bit on the ice flows?
think this is why the sequel only took half as much - so many people were disappointed by the first. they tried to turn a very simple book into a sprawling epic
the third looks even worse, the trailer left me cold.
you know walt disney pulled out after the first 2? i think even they realised they had a stinker of a franchise :-0
They weren't that bad of films, they are enjoyable. Howeevr its a fil;m i can only really watch once. I haven't read the bookz so can't compare, and i atcully am not aloud to read the books atm. ]
Didn't no disney pulled out of it, but they started it, they got to finsish it. Make edmund yopless, that will bring in a few more bums on seats.
