you are actually right.
To all the complainers etc...lol....i said it had a LOT of fantasy cliches in it..yes...no doubt...and also..YES, the fighting scene was not really credible.
BUT THEN it is a fantasy movie....the "credibility" should already be gone the second they discover a closet which leads into another world.
A freaking fantasy movie. As is LOTR or sword of truth series or whatever.
How 'credible' is it that a small hobbit and his friend can save a whole continent ? DUH.....etc..etc...know where i am going ?
If i accept a fantasy movie (or the "truth" of the bible, so to speak as entertainment for a night - then i can very well accept the movie and "shortcomings" and still say that the movie was good.
If you can accept that lions speak or magic exists...or another world which you can enter thru a closet then you could also accept that maybe peter learned to be a good sword-fighter in a day or so.
Btw. another "funny" thing (as said, i ACKNOWLEDGE many cliches and actually this made it almost interesting).....eg. the witch "kill everyone, no prisoners"....but then she is actually NEVER really ever killing one just "freeze" them to ice. (And the lion [for some reason], could re-resurrect them from their frozen state).....baaahhh...does she even know this ?
And..please dont forget it's a disney movie...and tonight there were actually a bunch of kids in the movies, and it was a rather late showing. If i want gore and "realistic" fighting then i would not want to go to a disney movie - but maybe instead watch "platoon" or some horror movie
Edit: i thought the animation scenes were GOOD. (ILM at work..for sure no halfa$$ stuff...and in some scenes i had a HELL of a time to discern whether it was CG...or not...)
