This one always leaves me a little flat.

Rating: 6/10 (30 March 2019)

"The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" is never that satisfying a watch for me. I know a lot of people enjoy it. It does have a few really good moments. But overall, it just kind of lays there. A couple of the characters don't really work. The music is not that hot. The movie is a fifteen or twenty minutes too long. There is a seriousness to the movie that doesn't really work. That's why it's great whenever Mr Beaver shows up. He lightens everything up. "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" is a bit of a rarity. It's a "Part 1" that's weaker than it's sequels.
