Wasn't that great

Rating: 5/10 (22 December 2005)

I grew up loving the Narnia film and the books, i adored them, and when i found out there was going to be a Big Budget film coming out, i was over the moon, but to be honest i was a little disappointed if i must say, Why i hear you say? well... When i saw the advert for this, the 30 second trailer was of what seemed to me, various battles, but in the film, there wasn't various battles, it was just 1 battle and not very long if i do say so myself. The build up to the 'Big Battle' was sooooo long as well i mean, took like 2 hours for the battle to commence and by then i was frustrated and bored, so wasn't actually up for this battle, but when i did come i sat and and said to my mate ' Here we go some action' but that never came. My Friend had actually never read the books before or watched the cartoon, but he was telling me everything that happens next, i know its a kids film and its supposed to follow the book but come on have a few surprises please can you. I know a lot of people are saying how great this film was, but people it really wasn't anything special, the advert built your hopes up once again with all the action in the Ad, but left out the 2 hours of boring stuff. 5/10 I'm giving this, a little generous i might add.
