For children only

Rating: 6/10 (27 December 2005)

I just finished watching The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and I must say I came out feeling a bit let down. Perhaps it has more to do with the fact that I'm grown up and therefore expect more than a children's story. And don't get me wrong, it's not a bad film - but like I said, it's for children only(unlike the Harry Potter films which can be enjoyed by both children AND adults, including yours truly). And certain parts of the film reminded me too much of The Lord of the Rings, especially the battle sequences. Even some of the creatures in this film seem to come straight out of The Lord of the Rings (this isn't all too surprising if you know that WETA, the company that did the visual effects for The Lord of the Rings, also did it for this film). Overall, a 6 out of 10. Hopefully the next one will be more interesting and adult-pleasing.
