Personally I think this film was disaster.

Rating: 4/10 (6 July 2006)

Having seen the BBC Dramatization, this was just disappointment. And maybe I was expecting more from this film with all that publicity it did have.
I disliked...well, almost everything. Personally I think this film was disaster. Awful screenplay, awful characters (except perhaps Mr. and Mrs. Beaver). Barbara Kellerman (BBC version) vs. Tilda Swinton as White Witch? It is like comparing Alien vs. Lassie.
Perhaps 140 minutes just wasn't enough. Things seemed to happen too fast but it is always problem when making books into films. Still I think that this could have been done much better. All warmth and emotion of the original story was gone. I am not looking forward for the next film.
Despite being cheap-looking, the old BBC version has that very important thing why it is superior to this film: feeling of magic.
And four stars? It is for the original story...
