Why Do People Find This Good?

Rating: 3/10 (15 January 2006)

I went to see Narnia today because of the positive comments i've heard from a lot of people i know.What a bad movie.Having read the book (and not really liking it)I didn't expect much but was still blown away at how awful it was.First of all characters come in and out of nowhere with no explanation of who they are and why they are there.Santa Claus gimme a break.How does someone not know what a wardrobe is but know what Christmas is (I'm speaking of course about the forn).Also the little girl cannot act.She smiles before she cries about Forn being a rock.The war which was what i looked forward to was far too short and the villains looked totally ridiculous.The story i found predictable and lame.The sword fight between Peter (who cannot hold a sword)and the witch was amateur at best and they weren't trying to hit each other but trying to hit each others swords.The ending explained almost nothing and left you completely oblivious to who the professor was.If there is going to be a sequel count me out.The only reason i don't give this a 1 is because of the absolutely beautiful cinematography and background scenery.
