Ugh

Rating: 3/10 (12 December 2005)

As a child, my Narnia books were treasured above all others. I lovingly read them cover to cover over and over and over again. My excitement at learning that "The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe" was being made into a feature length film was only surpassed by my disappointment upon seeing it. This poorly acted (except for Georgie Henley) rendition of one of my childhood favourites was so chalk full of preachy goodness and disgustingly saccharine sentimentality that my teeth ached by the end of the film. I give it 3 stars out of 10 only for the character of Lucy and the White Witch, the rest is pablum and badly (mostly) done cgi.
