Lost in translation - The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe Reviews

Considering the brilliance of the source material, director Andrew Adamson's adaptation of "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" is disappointing. Though part of C.S. Lewis' magic is leaving much of Narnia to the imagination, Adamson has taken a minimalist approach to Narnia, leaving much of what should be awe insipiring bland and un-palpable. The special effects reek of a "made for TV movie." However, Aslan was handled very well. Overall, "The Lion..." is hit and miss. Unfortunately, the film misses where it matters most: The adaptation fails to bring Narnia to life.
