Brilliant Special Effects

Rating: 8/10 (18 May 2006)

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe is a great fantasy/family/action film, it is very flawed, mostly through the direction and performances of the four central children, the timing was also a little off. We already had several good fantasy action and even family films out this year such as, Batman Begins, Robots, War of the Worlds, King Kong, Star Wars 3, Harry Potter 4. That is simply too many of this kind of film in one year to fully appreciate them all. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe is second rate to most of these films, the effects to King Kong, and War of the Worlds, and all around to King Kong, and Batman Begins. Tilda Swintons performance is amazing and more than makes up for the others. She catches ever moment perfectly. She should have gotten an Oscar nomination. You should see Narnia because it is a very good film, but there are better one's out there.
