That's not The Lord of the Rings!

Rating: 4/10 (10 December 2005)

My big mistake was to buy my ticket thinking I'd watch something like The Lord of the Rings. You can't blame me for that since that's what Disney is trying to sell us. But if you watch this movie with that in mind, you'll surely leave the theater as disappointed as I left. Actually that's a childish flick where even Santa Claus shows up. But I think Narnia sucks by its own mistakes anyway. A funny thing is that despite of that prophecy that the "two sons of Adam and two daughters of Eve" would kick the witch's ass, the four kids didn't do anything of relevant to beat her. I guess the only effect they had in the war (oh gosh, I miss LOTR so much...) at all was a placebo: the queen of Narnia got so preoccupied with their arrival that her fear made her lose. About Aslam's resurrection, he offered his blood to pay for Ed's (I'm not quite sure his name in the original version is Ed, in Brazilian version the boy was called Edmundo) betrayal, but when he comes to life again he says that if an innocent was killed in the holy table he would resurrect. But, well, IMHO, if the lion tricked the witch with this, he's not innocent at all, he betrayed her confidence.
