Narnia

We watched The Chronicles Of Narnia last night, and I was mildly disappointed. The plot was very linear and two dimensional, and the story just didn't 'work' for me. I found myself fiddling about and playing with things, rather than concentrating on the film.

I guess that we have been spoilt by the likes of LOTR, and Star Wars, and so expect constant action, multi layered plots.These days, we take the fantastic CG graphics for granted, for example a centaur seems run of the mill.

The acting, however, was very good, the children, and the White Witch stood out. IMDB gave it a reasonably good 7.3

Searching IMDB also produced this charming little anecdote about Georgie Henley, who plays Lucy.

As a thank you gift for being in his movie the Director, Andrew Adamson, gave each of the children an iPod. When Georgie got hers she thanked him whole-heartedly, but once he was out of earshot she turned to her mother and said, "What is it?"
