I found The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe a bit boring. Maybe you should not compare the film to the Harry Potter movies, but if you do, Harry Potter is a lot more interesting to watch. Probably because the Narna story is a bit slow. And the sound was very bad in this dutch cinema, the screen a bit small and a break in the middle of a film (it’s 2h 20 long) is never good if you ask me. (And yes I am spoiled by Cinemaxx) And no, I haven’t read the book.
Good things:
Narnia features James McAvoy as Mr. Tumnus, the Faun. Well he does have weird legs in Narnia, but he is one of the most talented young British actors currently around, if you ask me. Yes he was in State Of Play, together with this other Brit, what’s his name, something with a B it was …
Narnia features Liam Neeson as the voice of Aslan, the Lion. Well casted, Lion with an Irish accent. We like that.
Narnia does have some nice special effects, talking beavers (pretty funny) and wolves, Aslan the lion, and all the other not so common inhabitants of the land of Narnia.
All in all the story is quite allright, but the pace of the film was too slow. So no more than 7 (out of 10).
Oh..en toch zal ik er naartoe moeten..
Och ik ben de laatste paar keer zo op Rembrandt afgeknapt, onscherpe projectie en het geluid was ook niet best nee. Was ‘t toevallig Rembrandt 2?
Oh, and Dutch Cinema has always been disappointing ;-)
Ja Rembrandt 2 :-) Zegt dat genoeg ?
