Narnia is great
to POOP on!
Seriously, comparing Narnia to Lord of the Rings shows what a difference a talented director with a vision makes. The Narnia story doesn't feel connected, lot's of random scenes, and whiney children that instantly transform into heroic warriors. There are moments where the story is just compelling, but there are times when the story would have been compelling except the director has the camera change angles 25 times in 3 seconds and never really captures the scene in ANY of them.
And who is this thing targetted at? Young kids would love the talking beavers and heroic kids, but there is way too much evil (wolves attacking, huge battles (although bloodless)) depicted for really young kids. Maybe it's the 10-13 crowd that they're going for - seems pretty narrow...
