I can hear her bones rattling all the way from West Yorkshire, England to Texas where I am. It's definitely her, and who can blame her? One scarcely recognizes the people, situations, or dialog in this dreadful film.
Oh, it's pretty - but that's it. The books is splendid, beautiful, unforgettable... and that's the problem. If I had forgotten it, I would have loved this film! But I remember it.
I've never understood why filmmakers mess with classics. The book has been loved by countless generations for a REASON. It's perfect. This film has a great location, wonderful costumes, and likable actors (ever since the Narnia films, I LOVE Georgie Henley)... but it's NOT a true representation of the book.
Dreadful - ANY of the other productions is better.
