180,000,000 $ spent on nothing much...

Rating: 1/10 (26 December 2005)

IMDb gives the above number as the budget of this film. I'm wondering where all that money went to: The acting is of the worst kind, the story unbelievably laughable, the dialogue is tiring, CGI and effects look awful, there's no kind of storytelling whatsoever, etc. etc.
Here's some of the (dozens of) questions that came up and were left unanswered during this movie:
Why are humans so important in that world? Why are pigs and cattle 'bad' animals and others (beaver, fox) 'good'? Why is everybody eager to give their life for some children that never have proved themselves worthy for it? Why doesn't Mr. Tumnus fall over when standing still - I mean, he's only got two hooves and according to physics and gravity he has to fall over unless he scuttles. What did the professor give the children at the end of the movie? Why is the white witch able to put a whole country under snow, but isn't able to kill some inept children? Why does everybody in this movie have to speak in such a momentous and meaningful voice - all of the time? Did anybody ever think about what this raw blend of racism, violence and salvation myths does to the suggestible minds of children (i.e. the target audience)?
I guess the idea behind all that was just to make tons of money from people wanting to see some pseudo-Christian-and-fantasy-themed movie. So they spent 1.50 $ on screenplay, actors, effects and direction respectively and the rest of all those millions went into advertising to trick people into paying money for this thing. It's the only way I can understand how such a piece (that would get the worst grade at every writing and directing school) could make it onto screen.
Go for the 1989 version instead - at least it had no budget to go along with no story, lame acting and even worse effects. Or simply wait till it's on free-TV - don't support something like that with your hard earned money.
