awful, dog gone awful

Rating: Null/10 (5 January 2007)

to say the movie was bad would be an understatement:it was terrible. I read the lion and the witch when i was in first grade. It was my favorite book for years. Obviously i was excited when i heard they where taking it to the big screen. I can't even start to describe my disappointment. Everything about this movie turned me off:editing (you could see the green screen miles away), special effects, original score. But what really killed it for me the script. they butchered it. How could they do this to one of the best kids tales of all times? The dialogue was poor and character development was obviously not the scriptwriters' main priority. I was not glued to my seat. I couldn't wait to get out of there. The only remotely good thing about the film was the acting. And although Tilda Swinton was plain (can't think of a better word), the child actors where promising. I hope to see their craft has improved in the sequel.
