What a disappointment

Rating: 5/10 (18 August 2008)

With all its great effects and all the money it worth making this movie, and all the money they spent on publicity, it wasn't such a big deal. But first of all let's see the good things 1. Great effects 2. Great production, places, costumes, everything wonderful. Now the bad things.
First of all, the movie itself is slow, too slow indeed. There are times when you want to forward it because you get bored. For example, the part where Aslan "dies" Oh my God I almost fell asleep in that part, the girls cried like for 15 minutes. You can see they made a real effort making it long. Second of all, bad actors. Please, this kids just don't know how to act. The Lucy girl would make a great job as a teddy bear. And maybe Peter could be a model, but not an actor. Third of all, wrong expectations. The trailer and all the propaganda, made the movie look something like the lord of the rings, an epic movie, but it was just a show. If you are going to make a kids movie, then just say it. Last of all. I don't know what you think about the book, but I just hate the idea of C.S. Lewis to make this lion who always solves everything. He just needs to blink and voilà! everything is O.K again. A little bit of drama wouldn't go wrong.
Conclusion: This is a great movie for kids from 7 to 10 years old, but if you want to see some kind of Celtics wars, go for the Lord of the Rings.
