Music really killed it - if had known, I would have paid not to watch it

Rating: 1/10 (7 January 2006)

Apart from many things I could mention (bad acting, no action, no development of the characters), it's the music that really killed it. It's simply too modern and midi-like. In the first scene everything goes smoothly, but right from the moment Lucy goes into the world of Narnia... everything fails. The characters, the story, even the world itself are unbelievable and completely artificial. And it's no even about the CGI (which is quite OK). It's about the believability of the story.
What struck me the most was the artificiality of behaviour of the kids - Lucy tapping the faun like she was what? 30? 40? Completely unbelievable for me, sorry.
So don't waste your money on this one - go check on BBC's series instead: maybe the FX is silly in comparison, but at least there's what I call MAGIC.
