Pretentious and completely forgettable with a truly confused script. How the people who made this had any sort of career afterwards is beyond comprehension. This is one of those movies you watch not caring at all about any of the characters or the story, and instead try to understand the state of mind of the people who made it and how they thought this would be entertainment. This isn't one of those so bad it's so-bad-it's-good kind of films... it's a so-bad-it-make-you-angry film since the 91 mins you spent watching it you will never get back!

Completely Surprised: The best film I've seen so far this year!!
11 December 2005
Okay; to start off I grew up with "The Chronicles of Narnia" as a child, and was fascinated by the books and the few made-for-TV adaptation of it. But as I grew up, I completely forgot about them, and how good they were.
So I went and saw the movie tonight on a whim. I wasn't expecting anything great. The trailers made the film look like an over-bloated HP/LOTR knockoff. But what a surprise!!! This film brought back fond memories of my youth. It was nice to see that they didn't butcher the story and dumb the film down (although I think there were a few more action scenes in the film then there were in the book. Haven't read the book in a while, so I can't say for sure).
But what a faithful retailing, and a GREAT film in general. Everything about the film was just fascinating and beautifully captured on film! I can't see how anyone could dislike this movie (unless there the Grinch). And in my opinion; Narnia puts LOTR and HP to shame (oops. Maybe I shouldn't of said that? Lots of hate-mail.)
So yeah; there you have it: 10/10. Bravo to Andrew Adamson and his team.
P.S. What's with all this "Religious Propaganda" sh*t I see everywhere on these boards? I didn't even know that the Chronicles had anything to do with Religion in anyway shape or form, I just always found the story fascinating and well told. It's a great movie regardless of how you look at it.
