I've not written a film review in quite some time.That would be due to the fact that I've not ventured into the cinema in quite some time.But here we go.The new Narnia film.

First off,I really enjoyed the first film. The acting was bearable from the four main characters and Tilda Swinton was fantastic as the White Witch.The land of Narnia was exactly how I'd imagined it when reading the books and the special effects,costumes and make-up created a world that was genuinely believable as the beautiful land on the other side of that oh-so-famous wardrobe.Due to this,I was very excited to hear that a follow up film was being made and was eager to see it.

So,when my friends brought up going to see it,I was all for it.

I can only say I was disappointed.

The costumes were still fantastic,the special effects still fantastic and the addition of Ben Barnes to the cast was welcomed by my lusty eyes.

However the acting was no longer bearable from the four Pevensies.Good performances on some counts but I could do nothing but giggle when Peter yelled on numerous occasions various versions of 'For Drama!' as he charged towards the camera,giant sword in hand.[Although of course it was more 'For Narnia!' or 'For Aslan!' but we all know the real reason behind those slow-mo shots of the now adult William Moseley]

I found the script to be dull and fairly repetitive.

'Oh the bad guys are coming.Oh lets do try and stop them before its too late.Oh we're never going to make it.Oh we lost some fighters.Never mind.Lets go fight the next unbelievable,albeit quite well made battle,lose some more fighters then have a one on one duel to mix things up a bit.Finally lets have one last far fetched battle field jig almost mirroring that of our first film!Yay!Go Aslan!Go Pevensies!Go Disney!'

I found it a dull two and a half hours.The central cast were wooden and showed little range,although Ben Barnes was better than the rest.

I'm sure younger cinema-goers will greatly enjoy this film and find it wonderfully magical. Unfortunately I am only left wondering why on earth they're making a third one.

Until Next Time
