For children - The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe Reviews

This movie isn't so bad if you keep in context that this movie should of been created for children. C.S Lewis's orginal intent was to symbolize Jesus's death/resurrection to his grandchildren by using characters his grandchildren could understand. The story was never meant for anyone older than the age of ten.(my opinion) However, Disney and the media protrayed this movie as a must see for everyone. Storyline - Gave the story a B, because the director supposedly took the story line out of the book. Story line is predictable, no novel plot. Still kind of confused as to why this book was famous in the first place... Story line is so unorginal, can't imagine reading this book unless I was a child. There are so many better fantasy books that actually stretch the imagination. I don't see what makes the four human children special in terms of their ability to save Narnia? They seemed pretty useless to me. And why the heck did santa clause show up? Acting - Gave the acting a F, Hated the actors in this movie - no acting abilities whatsoever. Who are these actors? I have never seen them in another film before. Peter - passable, but nothing special Edmund - Really annoying, reminded me of a crying coward Older sister - Didn't know her name, but wow what a complainer/blamer. She was supposedly smart? All she seemed to do was to critize the other characters during the decision making process, without coming up with an alternative solution, and then after - if something went wrong - started yelling at the other characters. I could not stand her at all. I feel sorry for whichever of C.S Lewis's grandchildren she symbolizes. She couldn't act whatsoever, and she was mad busted. Lucy - She was alright Direction - not much to say. Visuals - pretty good, LOTResque. Don't watch this movie unless you are a child, and it is a pretty lame children's movie at that. Can't believe I "bought" into the hype. Waste of time and money.
