Disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (17 February 2006)

I'd like the start by saying that Tilda Swinton did an excellent job as the White Witch in this remake, the other acting however was simply intermediate.
The graphics, for one thing, were awful. The backgrounds were tasteless and undetailed. It looked like the CG was rendered by a Playstation from a small boy's bedroom. Though, it is entertaining to see Beavers talk, it isn't entertaining to see eye-bleedingly bad sets in a movie as well anticipated as this one.
I know these are only a few young kids, but the acting wasn't very well done. Too much expression were put into these kid's head. Isn't the director supposed to fix things like that? Or better yet, wasn't that supposed to be sorted out when they chose these kids at the audition? Unless they were desperate, choosing these youngsters isn't a great call.
The screenplay was terribly written. Even I felt a little embarrassed to be in the theater when I saw it. It was far too over-dramatic.
I give Chronicles of Narnia, The Lion The Witch And The Wardrobe a five out of ten.
