Not what I expected

Rating: 2/10 (15 March 2006)

This movie will suffer heavy criticism because of the enormity of the Lord of The Rings masterpiece. It is hard not to compare the two. Going into the film I fully expected a full force 2005 high-tech fantasy epic. This is what was promoted by the movie company. What I got was a kids movie. The movie itself was watchable but a huge disappointment. Zero character development. Zero thrills. The movie lacked everything needed for a good fantasy. The writers tried to cram too many events into a short time. What you get is an annoying stream of plot important events that all happen to quickly with no back-story. This movie is not for adults and barely for fantasy fans. Its too bad that the awesome Narnia books had to come to the screen as this lame kid flick.
