Biggest Disappointment In Theaters

Rating: 1/10 (10 December 2005)

Where the hell has Peter Jackson gone? The studio should have yanked him away from that giant pet project about some kind of gorilla and given the helm of this film to him. Instead the chose Andrew Adamson, whose credibility is due largely in part to a lovable ogre, whose presence would have benefited this film greatly, and would not have surprised me at all. Narnia is one part shrek, one part harry potter, one part lord of the rings, one part new testament, and all parts unoriginal. Major disappointment. I wish I had more to say about how terrible it was, but I'll leave it at this - reading Narnia helped defined my childhood, and instead of adding to said definition of my early years, this film defiled many of the memories that I have. Horrible. Save yourself.
