As the franchise reaches its eagerly anticipated third film, viewers can expect a watered-down movie that is more Jack Sparrow than Aslan.
The Narnia films are hugely popular with British audiences, who expect a Christmas treat in a magical land filled with entertainment and adventure. However, this newest addition to the franchise is a serious let-down. While the basic elements of the story are still there, director Michael Apted has opted for a Pirates of the Caribbean for children approach, rather than a film with any authenticity.
From the outset, the acting is poor by all concerned, and the action sequences fail to live up to the standards set by the Harry Potter films. It seems that troubles with the shooting and delays all round, have made this film a sinker.
Bring on the next one...
