Good God That was terrible

Rating: 2/10 (7 December 2005)

OK saw the film and URGH, i honestly cant remember the last time i saw a film this terrible i wanted to walk out so much but its a long walk home so i stayed and really wished i'd settled for the walk home.
I tried to just see the film as a nice entertaining big budget family film, i haven't read the book(well not all of it my friend stole it from my bout 100pages in) so the start of the film was almost reasonable not overly straying from the excellent and gripping opening of the book i'd started to read not long ago. Then it just went downhill really really REALLY far downhill, the acting throughout was utterly terrible, the cgi disgracefully poor, the bad rip offs of lord of the rings almost as laughably poor as the scene stolen from harold and kumar! i tried looking at the film as an afterthought from a film student's perspective after all that is what i am, i really wish i hadn't done that now as that just made it even worse if it was possible.
I guess the one and only well 1 and a half good things the film's got going for it Jim broadbent is fairly spot on at bringing the delightful professor to life, and the half goes to the half decent reasonably chucklesome beavers.
Save your money don't go see it, read the book and let your imagination take you to narnia rather than a terrible movie.
