A slap in the face of all that is Narnia
PostedMay 16, 2008

I had waited two and a half years to be ushered back into the world of Narnia. Instead, what I saw was the Extreme Makeover, Hollywood edition, sliced and diced, tucked and pulled, until the only thing that remained of the book I have cherished was the name.
I suppose, as a movie, it was quite enjoyable, and most people will like this newest edition to the world of Narnia. As a deep Narnian fan, however, I cannot support what has been done to this world. I wanted desperately to love it because of the name Narnia attached to it ... but I love land, the people, and the virtues of a place called Narnia, not its name. I, like many of the people who were at the 12:01 AM premiere, must admit that I hated it.
If you want a movie with all the latest Hollywood effects and dazzle, by all means see Prince Caspian. But if, like me, you long to walk the forests of a land that has lived in your heart since you were a child, stick with the book ... it will never disappoint like this movie does.

No, I do not recommend this movie.
