Disappointing Movie. The book was excellent - The movie was terrible.

Rating: 1/10 (9 December 2005)

I was expecting a lot from this movie, given the hype and the fact that the book is brilliant - The movie however was terrible.
I really felt as though the movie rushed through the story WAY too fast, and never came close to what the book offers. The battles also felt hollow and rushed. I also felt that the story was americanised and toned down for a Disney audience. You didn't get a true feel for Narnia at all in this movie, nor did it build the characters enough. It seems to me to be one of the biggest wasted opportunities in movie making possible. It was hard to believe that someone could ruin such a good book. I really wish Peter Jackson had made this movie. So much was missing in this movie - The movie really felt like a cheap Lord of the Rings wannabe. If you are at all interested in Narnia, please read the book and don't waste your money watching this rubbish.
