Jeeesus, awful!

Rating: 1/10 (14 December 2005)

This is by far one of the biggest waste of times I spent in a cinema. The effects were bad, the acting so so, but worst of all, I did not get the story at all. Is 'Narnia' famous in the states? Like as a fairy tale I mean? In Europe it is not known at all, so I am not sure about the perception of the movie here. Some Americans told me, it was something like Lord of the Rings, so my expectations were way too high.... It uses partially the story of Hans Christian Andersen's Snow Queen (little boy falls for the bad snow queen, little sister saves him), but then turns into a very weird mixture of all kinds of fantasy stuff... The Lion was more funny than impressive. Some of the creatures were done quite nicely, but in comparison with Lord of the rings for example, quite bad. I would be happy if somebody could update me about this movie, like what it should be in general....
