The Three Ls of The Equuschick's Narnia Review

She liked the beginning, loathed the middle, and loved the end.
That earned it 2 out of three,2.5, if you count the soundtrack which was gorgeous.

There were moments where she wanted to stand up and cheer, and moments where she wanted to stand up and blow the screen out with a machine gun.
Since when did spiffy action scenes come up with the nerve to think they could add antyhing to C.S Leiws? And when is Hollywood going to be over its Relunctant Hero fetish? First Aragorn, now Peter. Why did Edmund need psychological excuses? The way C.S Lewis did it thank-you very much, Edmund was a classic illustration of human nature, not some classic psychological example of a troubled fatherless child. She was very impressed with the wolves until they opened their stupid mouths to talk instead of to howl. They should have stuck to the howling.
The middle, frankly, seemed to belong to an entirely different story and The Equuschick rather wishes it had all been in an entirely different movie. The beavers seemed to be mainly comic relief and they explained nothing, for the most part the children were left to figure out everything on their own.

The children, as a whole, were sweet and beautiful and Lucy in particular was perfect. The Equuschick was pleased with the White Witch. Aslan, what they had of him, was beautiful.
The battle scenes were impressive. And children, and their relationship, and how their relationships between eachother developed and grew, were lovely.

(It would have been lovlier still without some really cheesy lines that were given in particular to Susan and Peter.)
