Over all i was really let down - The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe Reviews

we have been wait5ing for this movie forever. eveything about it looked promising and it is a can't miss story. First this is a great movie for children. very gentle, gerat action scenes that were exciting but bloodless, fun fantasy characters for such an amazing story this movie was really sorta blah. The opening scene was very frightening and violent despite not even being mentioned in the book. on the other hand it would have given some insight into why the children would have assumed Lusy was not quite right mentally. not that they ever went there in the movie. They added a buch iof stuff that didn't add to the movie and glossed over some very important things. The father Christmas scene. The turning point of the story was realy non-significant in the movie. As spring arrived they failed to focus on the queens growing frustration as she realizes she is being beaten. that was dissapointing. There was no score. A movie such as this, a place such a narnia demands sweeping grand powerful muic. there was a very tiny bit of music that was barely noticable and certainly didn't add to the movie at all. I think that was the most obviously lacking thing of all. What music their was was bland and completely unexciting. We saw a really bad production of this with cartoon animals and a really unfortunate looking Lucy. We absolutely hated it. It was like they tried to stick as close to that as possible. why? There is so much story to be told and it was like they didn't really try. Aslan was great, the witch was perfect (although there was a creepy pedophile feel when she interacted with edmond. it is hard to describe but it kinda grosed me out). I do hope there are future narnia movies (althoguh I will hesitate before droping $50 on it in the theaters - definitely worth waiting for the video or cheap theater) and I hope they are much better than this one. I think they can still make something family friendly and grand at the same time. Ya know that is what it was mising. the over all grandness of narnia.
