Half-assed CGI and dopey Disney style fighting

Rating: 4/10 (18 December 2005)

The original CS lewis books listed great battles but Disney serves us up a very watered down and bloodless version of the CS Lewis epic tale. This is most watchable film interpretation to date but it doesn't follow the book properly. I was disappointed with the battle scenes and the unimaginative swordplay that always "killed" without ever drawing blood. LAME.
For little kids who are ignorant of the original books this movie is a fine outing for them. For adults who haven't read the books it will be OK. And for those of us who are literate in CS Lewis we will always hold the books far above this fart of a movie. This rendition of the tale makes simply makes the books even that much more inviting.
THE BATTLE SCENES: Some of them were duplicates of footage from the video game Age of Mythology, along with the characters(Minotaurs to name just one) and their armor styles. I think someone saved a few dollars by re-hashing some footage??
