0 | Very Hard to understand. | I gave this book this raiting because it was hard to understand. The words were very hard and I didn't know any of them. The book did have a good plot but they made it to hard to know what it meant. This book did teach us about sea life, which was the ONLY thing in my opinion. I would only reccomend this book for highs... | negative |
0 | Horrible Book | Boring and bland. He even spent two pages listing sponges. Don't waste your time by reading this. | negative |
0 | Too Long and Dull | This book started off ok. I mean there was a good intro but after that nothing seemed to happen. Dont get me wrong, there were like two scenes of action but they were really short and lasted maybee a page. And it was a long book so there were huge spaces in the book where nothing happened. | negative |
0 | It was so boring. | Do not buy this book. It is a waste of your money. If you buy this book ,it will sit somewhere and never go to use ,even if you just read the first 2 pages you will be disgusted. | negative |
0 | 3 men live on an underwater sub with a crazed captain. | I absolutuly HATED this book. Only read it for school. IT is awful. STAY AWAY from this evil novel. no offence tended for the author. It was too discriptive and you have to look up half the words in the dictionary. This has 0 stars but I can only put 1. | negative |
1 | A bit riveting... | Most of the book was interesting although the spots classifying the sea life boring and I breezed through those pages to get to the more interesting areas. All in all, a good read and worth the time. Besides, you can't beat the price to read a classic!! | positive |
1 | A "Classic". | Despite the ravages of time, Jules Verne's oddysey sails proudly onwards. The storyline is, for virtually the entire book, gripping and (with certain allowances, even now) almost believable. Characters are presented nicely, with a good amount of intrigue to boot. If aren't planning on reading this book, you deserve to ... | positive |
0 | An Obsolete Translation | This paperback, one of the Barnes and Noble "Classics Editions" is a republication of the original English translation by Rev. Lewis Page Mercier made in 1872. Mercier's translation leaves out 20% of the book and makes numerous other textual errors. These facts have been known for fifty years. The editor is a Victoria ... | negative |
1 | NOTHING LESS THAN 5 STARS | WOW--WOW--WOW---GREAT BOOK---WHAT A CLASSIC---CAN YOU BELIEVE THATIT WAS WRITTEN IN 1869??? YEARS & YEARSAHEAD OF ITS TIME. GREAT READ. | positive |
1 | Amazing undersea adventure! | Only four stars because of the amount of skimming I had to do because of the massive quantity of scientific nomenclature for the fish and other creatures encountered. Beyond that, this book is an amazing adventure story with triumphs and dangers that make you feel the atmosphere of almost every scene! It makes the movi... | positive |
1 | Great book, in a great size!! | I love Jules Verne's writing. This book is small enough to fit in a purse or glove box so you can take it with you anywhere. If you like steampunk fiction, or old west, read some Jules Verne | positive |
1 | Miss. Muhls 6th grade class Jack | In this book there are three main characters,Ned Land, Professor Aronnax, and Captain Nemo. The book Twenty thousand Leagues Under the Sea was veryinteresting. It is very suspensful and you are always thinkingthat the characters are going to die. Their are mant differentsurvival scenes. For example one scene captain Ne... | positive |
1 | Good | This is a good book but it gets boring at times. If you like science fiction then you would like this book | positive |
1 | 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (Books of Wonder) | 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (Books of Wonder)is one of my favourite books of all time. Verne has managed to writing an intriguing, invigorating and adventure-filled adventure that also delves into questions morality and religion. Verne's love of science and technology is a leading theme through out the book and one ge... | positive |
1 | Great aid to the real story. | We are reading the unabridged version to the kids and this is an indespensible aid for understanding the descriptive story. The pictures are great and very accurate to the descriptions. Historical notes put the story in context of when it was written (i.e. marvels at an electric engine, extant knowledge of sea life, pr... | positive |
0 | Riddled with errors - DO NOT BUY FROM GENERAL BOOKS | This book is completed destroyed by errors in printing. The text is unreadable at points; various spelling errors litter the book. The chapters are not separated, and even worse, are sometimes still in the same line as the sentence before it! Do not buy the black and tan cover, printed by General Books. I wish I had lo... | negative |
1 | A vast improvement | Most of Jules Verne's works were hastily translated, with many "improvements" made in the process, such as deletion of scientific exposition, as well as deletion of many moments deemed by the translator as dull.This, the Restored and Annotated version of 20,000 leagues, is a VAST improvement over previous English editi... | positive |
1 | A GREAT UNDERSEA ADVENTURE | I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS STORY TO ANYONE BECAUSE I THINK IT'S A GREAT UNDERSEA ADVENTURE BOOK. IT HAS AN EXCITING STORY LINE THAT MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE REALLY THERE. I LIKE THE PART WHERE CAPTAIN NEMO SHOWS THE PROFESSOR THE UNDER HUGE WINDOW THAT LOOKS OUT TO THE SEA WHERE YOU CAN SEE COLORFUL SEA CREATURES. CAPTAI... | positive |
1 | Loved it! | Reading the original version was great and disappointing. Don't get me wrong Wells has always been one of my favorites. But Hollywood has changed the story, quite a bit.It was a pleasure to read it as it was written. | positive |
0 | Was the worst | Did not arrive to where I had expected it to come. I had labeled the shipping address correctly but it still went to a totally different house. | negative |
1 | Old time reading | One must, of necessity, of course, deal with a most classic Victorian style; however, get over it and read it. Read "Frankenstein." | positive |
0 | Twenty Thousand | I really disliked this book. I think some of it has to do with the fact that the lines were off on some of the sentences throughout the book which made it more difficult. This is a great story, very imaginative but painful to get through unless you are a marine biologist. | negative |
1 | Twenty thousand leagues under the sea | Twenty thousand leagues under the sea. I found it a fascinating and wonderful piece of science fiction. It was difficult to put down | positive |
1 | Fast read of a unique lifetime adventure | If you ever wondered what would be like to have your own submarine, what encounters with the beasts of the sea and of the earth you would have, and how far deep down into the cravesses and cracks of the oceanic floor you could go without being sqeezed like a soda can, ... then this is the read for you.You will be pleas... | positive |
0 | Horrible narration | The narrator should have a European (french) accent. Instead he has a gravely American accent. It just does not fit the story at all. I was not happy with this purchase. | negative |
0 | DO NOT BUY FROM "jersey.xray".... | I paid promptly...no item...I wrote them...no response...now I have to figure out how to get my money back. Terrible seller through Amazon...I cannot believe they allow him to do this to so many people. Really would've liked my book. Unfortunately, I cannot leave zero stars...BLAH! | negative |
0 | urk... | Okay, maybe I shouldn't be so mean to a "classic", but I found this book quite insufferable. I suppose it's unfair to judge it my modern standards, but I will anyway. I found the policy of our heroes attempting to kill any animal they possibly could more than a little disturbing: when the book mentioned dolphins and se... | negative |
0 | TWENTY THOUSAND LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA | TWENTY THOUSAND LEAGUES UNDER THE SEACANNOT GET IT TO THE KINDLE UNIT. IT IS IN PC KINDLE FILE BUT IT WILL NOT PRESENT ON TH KINDLE. THEREFORE IT WASTES MY TIME. | negative |
0 | I know this is classic literacy and what not, but I wiill never read this book again. | This book would only be good for a marine biologist or a latin translator because they are the only people who can translate it. The book might say something like, "The Nautilus was attacked by a group of spodulini auarius." You then are confused. A few chapters later, it might say how the Nautilus was attacked by some... | negative |
0 | a trial to read | I can not describe how much I did not enjoy this book. It took me 5 months to read it for a reason and I consider 5 days a long time to read a book. So much description and no plot made this book feel like it was 1000 pages long. It just never got anywhere. I cared nothing about any of the characters and finished it on... | negative |
1 | .... | Personally, I enjoyed the book tremendously. The author dived into the action pretty quickly, and it took me just a few pages to get to the excitement. By the way, I'm reading the unabridged version, so correct me if I'm wrong. I would have preferred more action-packed scenes and adventure in the book cos' on the whole... | positive |
0 | Too dull through most of the story | I agree with most of the other reviews in the sense that there are four or five scenes in this book that get your heart-pumping. Unfortunately that accounts for about a quarter of the book. The rest is full of detailed descriptions of sea life that would appeal to the most passionate environmentalist. The story was int... | negative |
0 | Bad Printing Choices | I am not commenting on Jules Verne's writing, but rather the format of this particular edition. From the outside, this edition is very nice; as other reviewers have noted, it's great to have the map on the front cover. However, the print inside the book is VERY small. I'm not sure what the publisher was thinking; I've ... | negative |
0 | I did not like this book. | The book 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was a really disapointing book. Most of the story was boring and not exciting. When it got interesting it just was not as good as other books. I thought this was going to be a good book. The end was the most disapointing part. I would not recommend this book for people my age. | negative |
0 | Not all classics are great---obviously. | I read this out loud to my three children when they were young, only one stayed around till the end. Mind-numbingly dull unless one reads it with a funny voice or reads it as a sad tale of the narrator's unrequited love for Captain Nemo. | negative |
0 | This is a children's version of the original story | I was disappointed to find this was a children's version of the Jules Verne novel. Amazon's description of it doesn't make this clear. | negative |
1 | Free is good | My first Kindle e-book (see also free book) and I loved it. A classic story full of adventure, intrigue, romance and mystery. Dumas had it down. | positive |
1 | Classic novel | This novel is a fanciful tale set in long ago age of etiquette and imagination of a world unknown at that time. | positive |
0 | Causes Kindle for Freeze | This book causes my Kindle to freeze. Must do a complete reset to get it to work again. This is the only book, so far that caused a crash. I don't know if I will try to re-download it from Amazon. Weird huh? | negative |
0 | Beautiful packaging - but the translation is terribly flawed. | For those who, like me, have found great pleasure in surrounding oneself with great literary works, the Easton Press edition books seem to have a lot of draw. However, it has been my experience that many of their novels by foreign authors can be found to contain older and flawed translations.This specific Easton Press ... | negative |
1 | Great! Stuppendous! | This is the most fantastic book I have ever read!Jules Verne really brings the book to life! You will be taken into the world of the ocean, and youwill be lead into adventure by Captain Nemo himself! | positive |
1 | Unabridged and Awesome | This is a very attractive edition of this book. The physical dimensions of the book itself, it's quite large, make it very easy to read. Additionally, the large plot-driven engravings found in the book are beautiful and the smaller engravings found at the top and bottom of each page are also very attractive. The fact t... | positive |
1 | this book rocks | ok its a good book with a plot that a 3rd grader can understand i know this because i read it in second grade so a 3rd grader should have an easier time. and as far as the word that someone complained about you need to read context clue plus they are not that hard. this is a good book and show the predictions that Vern... | positive |
1 | A Poetic Masterpiece | Jules Verne is one of the most captivating and poetic writers ever in existence. All of his novels are complete masterpieces, but this novel is the best one I have ever read. Its intricate plot line and complicated writing style make the novel seem both romantic and adventerous. Although for some the writing style may ... | positive |
1 | This is an awesome classic book. | I'm halfway through this book and I found it great. I just can't give up reading this book. Verne is uncomparable. I think it's one of the greatest classic novels by him. I wish I could go on an underwater adventure like this. I brought the version that is translated by anthony bonner. I tempted to buy a different hard... | positive |
1 | Science lovers special! | Sheer adventure narrative for the aquatic zoology and oceanography nerd. Captain Nemo the prototype for the mad at mankind genius villain; bad yet sympathy-deserving.Actually challenging reading: many 50 science terms. | positive |
1 | His best to date | I'm a huge Brian Mcknight fan and never loved any of his albums the way I love this one. He has so many cuts on here that are hot verses his other albums which may only have 3 songs but this ENTIRE album is it. He always blesses God to so that's a bonus. | positive |
1 | Still smooth as ever | B McKnight is still the man. I've been listening to his stuff for years and I keep waiting for him to have the "one" album that's just ghetto. I'm still waiting. His vocals are literally flawless. My favorite track is "What We Do Here" and "Stay." Definitely worth the cost and then some... if you're looking for some sm... | positive |
1 | b. knight still underrated in my book | I've always liked brian mcknights music, ever since I heard anytime i was hooked. The man writes and composes his own music, i respect that. Not the typical brian mcknight which is probably why some knight fans have turned away. This is probably knight's most personal album, heance the title "gemini." Every song I feel... | positive |
0 | I expected more Brian - this is a disappointment ! | This CD lacks effort. Only one or two decent tracks, the rest of the tracks leave a lot to be desired. A real downer. | negative |
0 | THE MOST HORRIBLE ALBUM | I HATE THIS ALBUM. ALL MODERN R&B ALBUMS SUCK. I HEARD THIS ALBUM AND I MADE MY HEAD BLEED. WHERE THE HELL ARE THE BALLADS CUZ THERE ARE NONE. WHAT THE GODAMN HELL WAS BRIAN MCKNIGHT THINKING. HE SHOULD STOP MAKING MUSIC GOD DAMNIT. DATS WHAT I HAVE TO SAY. | negative |
1 | It's Gemini Time | I love all of Brian McKnight's CDs, however "Gemini" to date is the Best!! From tracks #1 "Stay with Him" to #13 "Me & You" this project is some of the best R&B;, Inspirational & Gospel out there today.Thanks Brian!! | positive |
1 | Best R&B Singer | It bothers me a lot to see that almost everybody has been praising Usher as the R&B king. Hell no! Brian McKnight is the real deal. Usher is just a R&B beginner. | positive |
1 | It's still Brian Mcknight | I don't understand why some people expect Brian Mcknight's new music to sound just like his old music. If I wanted to hear his old cds then I would pull them out of my cd case. Every time an artist puts out a cd, in some way it reflects HIS experiences in life. Not his fans. We should be thankful that a such a talented... | positive |
0 | Astrology: Sign of a Artist suffering from His own Idenity | while Brian Mcknight knows what His Zodiac Sign is&the Month He was born in,musically He is truly suffering from idenity Loss. somewhere between the early 80's till early 90's is where Mcknight is swimming in. while He is a Very talented vocalist,Multi Instrumentalist&songwriter it's been quite a while since He has lef... | negative |
0 | I'm shocked this is even from Brian McKnight | I just got the CD, browsed through the tracks in my car and can honestly say not one song sounded decent. I love his music and was waiting to get this one, but this has to be the worst album from him. | negative |
0 | Weak | I waited many months for this album to drop and when I finally bought it whenit came out I was very dissapointed! I give it 2 stars to stand for the only 2 songs worth a second listen. What we do here is a decent song . Everytime you Go Away is an amazing song but doesn't keep this album from sinking. | negative |
0 | Major Disappointment | I've always loved Brian McKnight's music. From "Back at One" to "Still the One" to "One Last Cry" and "Anytime"... loved em all. If you're hoping for anything remotely like those, you'll wish you hadn't spent the money. It's such a shame that I have to not recommend this album, but it just doesn't shine. I sense that h... | negative |
0 | Short shelf-life! | I seem to be having the same problem as everyone else. I bought this DSL modem mostly to get UPNP support for my Nintendo Wii. Worked great for the first 6 months, but I noticed lately it can't connect to the DSL provider or when it does everything crawls and eventually it looses sync. Sadly, I had to replace it with m... | negative |
0 | Best used for target practice | Horrible horrible horrible! I get booted from it every few minutes and then I get "No response from wireless router or access point" And it takes me an hour to get back on, just to be on for 5 minutes, then I have to start all over again. I can get 2 bars or signal from it while my laptop is sitting right beside it, ye... | negative |
0 | Customer Service NonResponsive | Will never know if this works well or not. Needed help with set up and Zoom customer service was non-responsive. Asked repeatedly during frustrating email exchange for access to telephone support. Was stonewalled. Finally, gave up, bought a competing product which installed flawlessly. Put Zoom product on Craigslist an... | negative |
0 | AT&T DSL users stay away | It did not pick up the DSL signal from my AT&T High-speed Internet service. I had to return it and get a 2Wire, which AT&T officially supports and which works without any problems. | negative |
0 | Needs rebooting several times a day. | Works well when the modem initially connects to the provider CO. Wireless seems to work well. NAT functionality seems good. However, within minutes to hours, the connection to the CO slows to a virtual stand still. Cycling the power makes the problem go away for a while, if you can put up with doing that every few hour... | negative |
0 | It may be a good product, but Verizon made it junk | I bought this unit to replace a unit sold to me by the phone company. It was to be "combatable" to DSL Verizon. Not so said the phone company. You have to by from us, they said. I battled this unit for a month. It changed my IP so many times and would lock up. Customer service from Zoom was as bad as Verizon. One would... | negative |
0 | I'm looking for a different router | I'm using a Mac and a PC with this product. From the start, I could not get it to set-up like the directions instructed. I had to bring it to my local Res-Net office on campus for them to set-up. The big complaint I have with this router is the connection with the computer needs to be reset nearly every day for me, som... | negative |
0 | Not worth the money | I've had this item for 3 months, the support people don't know how to handle wireless connections, they keep referring you to the manual... and give you no directions... The unit itself isn't compatible with verzion.. this unit continously goes off the net, and must the software must be reloaded, or Verizon called to r... | negative |
0 | Keeps disconnecting from the internet | The X6 modem, when it works, is a great little modem that does everything that I need. But it will work for a period of time, and then disconnect itself from the internet. I've flashed it to the latest version of firmware, but the problem is still there.So if you are shopping for an ADSL modem, I would suggest that you... | negative |
0 | Look before you leap | I should have glanced at this book's format before I wasted my hard-earned dollars on this junk. It's simply a huge heap of quotes, regurgitated in some order known only to the authors. The "story" (simply interviews ad infinitum) unfolds by seasons of the show, without any sort of context, without any stab at putting ... | negative |
0 | 100 pages of interesting in a 500 page book | Did you know that the writers/performers worked all night on Tuesdays? Or that Lorne Michaels was a dysfunctional father figure? Well you'll be reminded about every fifth page of this yawner. Sure there's some interesting gossip and sniping, but save yourself some time and get the cliff notes because this is about 100 ... | negative |
0 | From Chase to Fallon | This book is an interesting read that is easy to get finished in one sitting. If one is looking for a detailed narrative, this book probably is not it. | negative |
1 | Surprise | I've watched the show for years and thought I knew a lot about it, but this book took me backstage and behind the scenes in such cool detail I quickly realized how much more there was to the story of this show. These guys managed to make all the years of the show entertaining and revealing, and I really liked the fact ... | positive |
1 | Absolutely fascinating | An incredibly comprehensive history of SNL, from just about every single person who made it happen: the cast, the writers, guests, etc.Whether you still love the show, hate it, or are ambivalent, this book is for you. I found it particularly nice that everyone involved, particularly the comedians, take it seriously her... | positive |
1 | A great read for fans of SNL | I'm a big fan of SNL, so I was quite excited to get into this book. It did not let me down. The reading is very easy, and the format facilitates the transmission of information one wouldn't normally know: the writers, actors, producers, etc. do most of the talking here in short interview snippets, filled in occasionall... | positive |
1 | Absolute Delight | If you, like me, have been around long enough to have enjoyed SNL since the beginning (of course with cable reruns, this includes nearly everyone), you will enjoy the behind-the-sceens look at how this long-running cultural event comes together each week. I have loved this show even when it was rotten, because I sensed... | positive |
1 | this is for book 0595237983/// More Towels by Grant Jarrett | i hope this review finds it's way to the write place..I enjoyed this book/found it thought provoking and moving<sprinkled with a fair bit of humor and real life drama. One truly gets the impact of the trials and tribulations of a muscians journey. | positive |
0 | Live From New York | I thought a book about the early days of SNL would be great fun. WRONG! The most boring book I ever read, next to "Chemical Analysis of Lithium Dioxide". Save your money. Its a waste of paper. | negative |
1 | Where to buy this cheap | I have only read part of this book so far (and loved it), but the reason I am writing this, is to let people know that it is $2.99 at The Christmas Tree Store. I bought 4, so if my family is reading this, you'll have a good idea of what you are getting next year. | positive |
0 | This book is horrible | You may think that a book about Saturday Night Live would be fun or perhaps even entertaining. Well this one is not. I hate to disagree with the other reviewers but the book was just huge, boring list of commentary. These authors should not be acclaimed for throwing together a scrapbook of things that other people said... | negative |
0 | Vastly Overated | When I began to read this book, I was expecting a superbly written historical account of the Saturday Night Live television show, and instead got nothing more than a plethora of transcribed interviews with people associated with the show.When I began reading this book, I was hoping the authors would include a listing o... | negative |
0 | Very Disappointing Book | The subject could not be more interesting -- a fascinating show with many interesting characters.This book is an abject failure however. Overwritten, dull, and self-indulgent it cannot hold the reader's interest.I was totally disappointed in this book. These so-called writers could have and should have done a far bette... | negative |
1 | An Honestly Subjective History | All history is subjective, of course, but here you get to see what historians are up against when they try to reconcile dozens of conflicting views to try and tell a story. Wisely the authors don't try to tell the story of Saturday Night Live - they let the participants' words speak for themselves, so you hear from tho... | positive |
0 | Eh. With so much talent, they put out this? | Given the reputations of those involved, especially Shales, this is a hellacious disappointment and certainly not worth the hardcover price at any discount. They couldn't even get Murphy to talk to them and, given that he saved the show, that is a major problem in a book of this size and alleged scope. O'Donoghue, who ... | negative |
0 | Love It or Hate It | I try to remain neutral about this topic, because of the way that SNL has changed over the years. What was once a dynamo on Saturday night and what changed it to a mediocre program, to one that is still trying to find itself, given the politics of the Hollywood games and players. This is essentially an oral history of ... | negative |
1 | Stayed up all night reading it | This is a terrific oral history of the show. Gives you a sense of how it got off the ground, the insane competition for performers and writers to get sketches into the show, and gossipy stuff like politics, obnoxious hosts, and drug use. Reflections on the deaths of Belushi, Gilda, Farley, and Hartman are tremendously ... | positive |
1 | Great stuff | The best 'dish' on one of the best shows ever! The most interesting parts, I thought, was when reading things from the writers' perspectives... the unseen, unheralded talent behind it all. (Just an opinion.) Highly recommended.Also recommended - NO ONE'S EVEN BLEEDING and DELANO | positive |
0 | way too long | I agree with whoever wrote that this book was way too long and unorganized. I was hoping to learn more about the behind the scenes works, and boy, did I. Drugs, partying, sexism, racism, it's all here and more. There are some great gems among all the trivia people already know.But it's all quotes from the different act... | negative |
0 | Two Days I'll Never Get Back | Tom Shales and James Andrew Miller seemingly provided an opportunity for free therapy sessions to all former and current SNL staffers. The whining, moaning and venting about how hard their lives are is more laughable than most of the SNL skits they've ever performed in.The book provided nothing interesting in how the s... | negative |
1 | All opinions | I really enjoyed reading this book and felt like I got an insiders look into SNL. The book allowed everyone to say their peace and give their side of the story. It was interesting to see all of the dynamics from the executives, to Loren, to the writers and the actors. I felt like i could really form my own opinion base... | positive |
1 | Interesting behind-the-scenes look at SNL, but I got bored | If you're a hardcore SNL fan who is interested in learning the history of the show, this book is for you. If you want to read about what happened the behind-the-scenes--the sex, drugs, and so on--this book is for you. I liked the way the people involved told the bulk of the story. I loved the first 25-30% of the book b... | positive |
1 | IQ - Great live album | Not many reviews for this one so I thought I would talk it up. It is a great 2cd set with good sound that gives you a good mix of material. 4 songs from each album with Peter Nichols and a few from the Paul Menel years. Peter sings the Menel songs very good IMHO. This is a great prog rock album and if you haven't heard... | positive |
0 | Nothing new here. | I have been in an insatiable mood lately for new progressive rock music buying CDs on a daily basis. I have uncovered some superb new bands such as Riverside, Abigail's Ghost, Frost, Phideaux with the first two named bands being absolutely exceptional. I was encouraged by other reviews to try IQ and this album particul... | negative |
1 | Classics made easy! | If you thot the classics were difficult and boring, well think again! This books bring them alive, and provides a beginner's understanding of just what the classics can mean to anyone. This book is both educational, as well as inspiring - even to anyone on a desert island for the past 50 years. I only wish the opera of... | positive |
0 | The Butchering of a Great Story | There are so many departures from the story the book tells.. I won't even bother to list them.. I suppose there are some who might enjoy the movie but having read the book first I was thoroughly disappointed. The makers of this movie vainly attempt to spice up a great story with everything the story is not. They try to... | negative |
0 | Visually stunning but story adulterated | The movie captures the look and feel of Narnia and many scenes are beautifully blocked and filmed. However, the movie's creators tampered too much with the actual story. This is a flaw not because they "should" or "must" copy the books exactly;we all recognize that some creativity may be required to retell a book's sto... | negative |
0 | Abominable | 90% of it was not in the book. Strong misunderstanding of the book or it's themes.Basically this was a scifi channel movie (ie terrible) with better actors and special effects.Whoever was responsible for this movie should be tied to a pole and whipped, then allowed to go back and play dungeons and dragons by himself in... | negative |
0 | Outrageous | As many others have said, the unnecessary deviations from the book were just horrible. Why not just make up a new story about Narnia that Lewis never told before ?The character relationship development was horrible. | negative |
0 | Infuriatingly Inaccurate! 10 Thumbs Down | *** Infuriatingly Inaccurate! *** Die Hard Narian Fans take heed to my advice and don't even waste your time on this movie. For example Disney thought that it was ok to allow Prince Caspian to KISS Queen Susan ( Attention Disney: That NEVER happened in the book! ). There are a number of other inaccurate happenings in t... | negative |
0 | It deviated a lot from the book | Really, the title of my review is my review. The movie deviated a lot from the book and being a lover of Narnia, that was very disappointing to me. I hate what they did to Peter's character, I was annoyed by the added "love interest" and most importantly, Aslan was often left out. I love in the book the picture of fait... | negative |
1 | Narnia strikes again!! | Some sequels do not carry the intensity and glory of their pilot movies. This movie definitely does. The main characters are all back and they are involved in an attempt to restore Narnia to its formal glory. The action is top notched and the story grips you from the beginning. The blu-ray version looks great and the s... | positive |
1 | Excellent Blu-ray Quality | I was very pleased with my purchase of "The Chronicles of Narnia" in blu-ray format. I found the picture and sound to be of the highest quality. I have no complaints about my purchase. | positive |
