Mediocre.

Rating: 5/10 (14 March 2006)

I don't know why so many people are comparing this movie with "Lord Of The Rings" trilogy. The stories haven't almost anything in common. Whereas "LOTR" was a herculean production at the service of a great fable, "Narnia" is a mediocre production with a pretty poor story (and with children on the main roles -SOS!!!-). As for the special effects, they're nothing to write home about. I guess the kids will enjoy the movie, but I do prefer other fantasy movies that are less pretentious and much more exciting (just like "Neverending story", "Willow").
The best things in "narnia" are the expresiveness of the girl who plays Lucy, and the talking animals (those effects are really something). Just an ordinary movie... all talk.
*My rate: 5/10
