nothing new!

Rating: 5/10 (30 December 2005)

All of the kids in the cinema seemed to enjoy this film (apart from the very bored young chap sat behind me who repeatedly kicked my chair before leaving the cinema half way through). However I thought it was simply yet another typical Hollywood big budget production, they've taken a classic children's story and made it into the trendy Harry Potter meets Lord of the Rings - the result...nothing we've not seen before. On the plus side, the actress who plays Lucy was excellent and in fact I feel she carried the other, not so talented actors (adults and children). However, this alone is not enough to warrant purchasing a cinema ticket, I recommend you wait for the DVD to come out!
