HOMM and Chronicles of Narnia
Anyone watch The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and The Wardrobe and immediately think during the battle, "This looks exactly like a Heroes of Might and Magic battle!"
Exactly, especially the griffins, giants, minotaurs, etc.
Moved to campfire, where it better belongs. GC

Elves, Orcs, Dragons, Ents, Wraith, Wights, the unDead! What does that remind U of?

What has the relation of C.S. Lewis and Tolkien to do with HoMM? That's like comparing an apple with a pear! They look alike, but they are very different.ThunderTitan wrote:Elves, Orcs, Dragons, Ents, Wraith, Wights, the unDead! What does that remind U of?

And remember Tolkien didn't make M&M Jon v. C. did!
Grah!

Yeah, but he was inspired by D&D which was inspired by Tolkien, who was in "something" with Kevin Bacon. [/i]

Well that how banners look like! Or do they have the same markings on them?

Me too, especially the minotaurs. Too bad we got only one Phoenix that flies in and out of battle less than two seconds.Zamolxis wrote:I didn't yet see the movie, but I saw the trailer. I did get a Heroes feeling out of it, but the battle between the Centaurs and Minotaurs reminded me of the battle in the intro movie of Age of Mythology. Anybody else got that feeling?

The banners are exactly the same as HOMM -- same color, same insignia. Same everything. It's like Life and Nature from HOMM4 are attacking Chaos.ThunderTitan wrote:JonahFalcon wrote:No, I mean the very LOOK of the battle. Even the banners of Aslan look EXACTLY like the banners from HOMM3.

The Giants didn't come into play. There were only 3 of them and they did nothing.Thelonious wrote:Well... if you caount alll the mythical creatures in Narnia, you'd be surprised.a55a55in wrote:Too bad we got only one Phoenix that flies in and out of battle less than two seconds.
I guess it was a Life/Nature army vs. Chaos/Might.

Some of us are old enough to remember that Medusa in the Clash of the Titans was "cutting edge" special effects. I saw that movie on Encore a few months back and realized just how far we've come...
The more that LOTR, Potter, and Narnia are hits, the better chance that HOMM will continue and grow a good fan base to keep them investing time and money into improving the game.
Still waiting for HOMM: The Movie!

I was more impressed with Caliban (or scared) when I saw Clash in the theater when I was 10.gravyluvr wrote:Some of us are old enough to remember that Medusa in the Clash of the Titans was "cutting edge" special effects.

But CLash of the Titans was NOT state-of-the-art in 1981. Dragonslayer was the cutting edge in stop-motion animation (earned an Oscar nom) because it used Go-Motion (that blurred movement in the frame, elimating that jerkiness in stop motion.)

Oh my God, I remember that movie! I was so young back then but I can still remember it! In that period I got very interested in Greek mythology. I've seen it only once more since then. God, it feels so good to remember!gravyluvr wrote: Clash of the Titans
(I do hope I've been talking about the same Clash of the Titans as you)
