Bad acting (directing?)

Rating: 6/10 (9 August 2006)

Apart from Lucy who tries to be expressive, those kids looked like they had been narcotized. And what's with this scene on the frozen river? They just stand there waiting for it to break under their feet, Peter holding his sword with two hands pointing it stupidly forward as if it was going to suddenly spit fire, paralyzed. Then a (too) brilliant idea emerges as he plants it in the ice as if in butter, foreseeing the coming surfing ride. Gosh it's so ludicrous.... The battle is a mess, the witch poses like in a shampoo commercial, and the plot is so thin... four children come up and suddenly become epic warriors and trained strategists overnight defeating a witch and monsters before sitting on a throne. Period. Looked pretty botched to me...
