The characters lacked depth. I couldn't wait for it to be finished. The first one I loved. They stole ideas from Lord of the Rings! It will make mega bucks but I felt raped financially and mentally.

While the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe took considerable creative license and still worked. This film missed an opportunity to tell a wonderful story. Thank goodness these people did not tackle The Lord of the Rings. Many classic works have been adapted to film that were consistent with the authors vision and entertaining, this was not. The charming characters that Lewis created are absent...the ones that do show up are poorly developed and disappointing. I wonder if any one actually read the book. Lewis gave us wonderful loveable characters; Trumkin, Dr, Cornelius, Caspian. Yike, what happened to those guys and the Pevensie children are no where to be seen...what on earth will happen to the rascal Eustace in the Voyage of the Dawn Treader...maybe Zac or Cody...I get em mixed up. Will this movie make money? Sure it will. Will it ever be what it could have been, no! The only bright spot of this film is may be a few more people will read these truly wonderful books. Narnia deserved better! 719226@blogcritics.org Mon, 19 May 2008 01:50:05 EDT
