Wouldn't actually watch it again... Well, maybe for the cool lion

Rating: 4/10 (29 December 2005)

Maybe it's just me, but the plot seems kind of too worn out. Or perhaps, it would be better to re-phrase - the realization wasn't good enough. Throughput the whole movie I couldn't stop wondering "Why the h**l am I thinking of a weird combination between "Heroes of M&M", "Willow" & "The Ice Queen"?!?!? Too brutal one might say, but acting of the four majesties didn't feel as "real" as the artificial characters per se. (Take the gryphon or the cute fox for example - let's not even start with Aslan.) And as NOT modest at all of me to say - I tend to "catch & feel" a good movie when I see one - but this one wasn't exactly the right kind. So personal or not, a message to people about to see "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe": Your children will love it, make sure you've had enough sleep before it (otherwise you might turn into Mr/Mrs Snoooreee) and even if you try to shed a tear at some point - don't even think about it. Believe me, it won't come out.
