There's a First Time for Everything...
Jul. 24th, 2010 05:42 pmLet me just say this. I am an incredibly patient person. I can willingly suspend disbelief for just about anything. And there is rarely anything artistic that I can say I openly loathe. I have only once in my memory ceased watching a film because I thought it wasn't worth my time. Hell, I even managed to finish "Bangkok Dangerous" which I thought to be incredibly, incredibly bad.
Anyway, that previous film was the newest version of "Prince Caspian". I loved the new "Lion Witch and the Wardrobe" even with the scene additions and whatnot. Thought it was beautiful. But I HATED "Prince Caspian". I loathed it so much that I stopped watching halfway through it. The acting was terrible. The dialogue was awful. So were the accents. And worse, they ripped out a lot of things that were so important to the whole Chronicles of Narnia series.
In that vein, I will add this. I've never walked out on a movie before. If I'm paying ten bucks a ticket to see something, you can damn well guarantee I'm going to watch it until the end.
Until today.
