Watched the Happening over the weekend, and let's say, there needs to be a 5 mile keep away warning. It was absolutely pointless to watch, and it is up there with crap shows like Mimic and Sound Of Thunder. The premise of the show was really good, but the ending is utter crap. Something like The Mist - where the main part of the show was pretty enticing, but the ending. OMG. Was BAD. Someone should do a skit of people knocking their heads into windows after watching the show. I know I wanted to scoop my brains out.
Prince Caspain, OTOH was a different beast altogether. Now the first show had awesome effects, but I wasn't really in love with the story. Caspian though isn't as magical as the first (I'd compare it to HP1 vs HP5) - but this did not sully the taste of the film one bit. In fact I thought it gave the show much more down to earth flavor. Throughly enjoyed it. Excellent story, and the effects don't seem to be the major driving point. It really touched my heart though, and I did leave the cinema feeling a tad sad at the ending. My only nick was that there isn't enough Aslan! During the standoff of Aslan VS the bad guy, I was really hoping he'd magically transform into a burning lion and like burn everything away. :P This is a PG rated film after all. In fact there was a lot of slashies, but no blood. Definitely a kiddy show. Ah well he did return with a pseudo LOTR trees vs humans ending.
It's up there with Ironman - the OMG it's awesome I don't mind watching it again kinda show. I think I may pick up the first dvd just to rewatch and re-live the show again.
