Narnia movie not up to CS Lewis idea of struggle between good and evil

Rating: 6/10 (23 January 2006)

I went to Narnia expecting it to be near or at the level of the Harry Potter and Ring movies. Not even close due to the weak scripting and\or casting of the four Pevensies. Lucy was great and the only believable one of the four. Peter was cardboard good, Susan was way to "good" and Edmund was not nearly "bad" enough. CS Lewis believed in Evil, not maladjusted children who suffer mainly from sibling rivalry. The Witch WAS believable because she lusted after power and would literally destroy herself to get it. This was NOT CS Lewis's idea of the struggle between good and evil; it was a Disney version of Christianity that Lewis would have rejected as simplistic and misguided - sort of a cartoon version of Screwtape Letters.
