An extremely poor mix of Harry Potter and Lord of the rings

Rating: 4/10 (10 January 2006)

First of all, I didn't read the original book(s) so I cannot say whether the film adaptation is close to them or not. But I did see the film. I am a big big fan of Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings worlds. I was excited to see 'The Chronicles of Narnia' as a good mix of those references. Exiting the movie theater, I had one thing in mind: this film is just very poor. The universe is poor, the story is incredibly predicable, (most of) the characters are irritable and shallow, the direction is blurry  And some moments are too long (30 min could easily be cut out without any damage to the story). Well, I am, once more, very disappointed by Disney (Pixar excluded of course). Looks like those people lost their magic after all. Maybe Harry Potter took it all ;-).
