narnia isn not the next lord of the ring and nor the next harry potter and at least on the cinema screen . even what spirit those fantasy spectacle have and narnia lack . and it seem the whole hundred plus audience and many of whom be child and agree with me in their numb and passive state . no yelp of joy and excitement nor even the slight scare . after the movie end and both kid and adult be in such a rush to leave and silent and obviously underwhelmed and that some of them miss the tack in end during the credit . visually and the movie be a quality work and display technical prowess and craftsmanship . you will wonder how they manage to create all beast from the real world to the mythology and from beaver and panther and lion to faun and centaur and gryphon . there be also some large and captivate sight such a the view of the ice castle and the scene of the final battle . the snow be dubious though and but i guess that be acceptable . what be not acceptable be the soullessness and joylessness of the rest of actual content of the film . much of it weigh down upon the main roles the main role . georgie henley lucy pevensie get a lot of screen time compare to her sibling and which be for the good thanks to her charisma . the rest of three and however and come off a stiff and unnatural and with perhaps more fault to the script and direct than the actor themselves . the child be portray a precocious on some occasion and yet unbelievably daft on others . due to this and the three eldest sibling be throw quite off balance during the film and and not in the credible way of child and but rather for the goal orient purpose of try to build up suspense and plot where there be none . maybe the producer have try to make a child center movie by explain the obvious and but it feel more like underestimate it young viewer . on the other hand and the deep question be leave completely unattended and such a the nature of the great magic and and the importance of human . this leave the story empty and and create a soft of befuddlement over the whole movie represent what be all the fight about . why be the good creature good and the bad creature not . underneath it eye candy and the chronicle of narnia represent the lion and the witch and the wardrobe be hollow and and without a soul and the exterior fails to impress alone .
