One Remake that is on target! Not Many Remakes Are.

Rating: 10/10 (28 July 2007)

This film is a masterpiece, a wonderful film, an excellent film, a wonder to behold. Sure, they do change several things, but who's quibbling? Not me! I liked all the cast, except there was one problem with Lucy- that face she makes when she is upset. I could'nt stand it. It makes me sick every single time I watch it. Swinton was good, but the witch- no matter who she is played by, she is ugly. Kellerman (original BBC TV version) did animate everything way too much, and overdid it by a long shot. Swinton, however, was quite perfect as the witch. She will HAVE to come back for the Magician's Nephew, but as for Silver Chair, I know that witch was of the "same crew" and all that, but I think that if she tried to do that role too, she would basically be redoing her role from this, and therefore downplaying her role in this. Skandar did not have any facial expressions, except when he got wounded by the witch- his face was contorted beyond all reason. Jonathon Scott, from the BBC version, did not have any facial expressions at all, not even when he is being the unsatisfied brat. On the other hand, I thought the animators for the animated version of this did Edmund's facial expressions quite well. MOST AWESOME SCENES: when the two armies run at each other- there is dead silence, until the first sounds of hand-to-hand combat could be heard, and the second is when the centaur guy tries to attack the witch.
