The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005)
Tumblr media
Adapting C. S. Lewis’ classic novel into a live-action film was a daunting task. It would’ve been impossible a decade ago, but finally, the technology required to make it happen is here. The results have been worth the wait.
Peter (William Moseley), Susan (Anna Popplewell), Edmund (Skandar Keynes), and Lucy Pevensie (Georgie Henley) are evacuated to the country home of Professor Kirke (Jim Broadbent) to escape the dangers of World War II. While playing hide-and-go-seek, Lucy stumbles upon a wardrobe like none other: its doors lead to the realm of Narnia. Inside this land where winter has no end, the cruel White Witch (Tilda Swinton) rules, but her “subjects” know it’s only a matter of time before two daughters of Eve and two sons of Adam, along with the lion Aslan (voiced by Liam Neeson) comes to their rescue.
Between the extended version, which runs a mere 5 minutes longer than the theatrical cut, and the one you saw in theaters, I say go with the original. The additional footage doesn’t add much. The most noticeable change are a few quick shots of the White Queen sending harpies into battle (they look decent, but I suspect they were cut because they stand out against the rest of her army). My only other significant criticism (applicable to both versions) is that, at times, the child actors are only so-so. The exception is Skandar Keynes, who brings depth to Edmund - a character that could’ve easily been one-dimensional. You can forgive this flaw in the same way you did in the early Harry Potter films, but it’s worth noting.
This is a great family film. It’s got exciting battle scenes and likable characters both adults and children can relate to. C.S. Lewis’ story could’ve easily been lost in the flurry of special effects, but amid the crazy creatures and exotic locations, the heart and drama that made this story a favorite remain. Surrounding the child actors and amplified by special effects are a great cast of seasoned performers, including James McAvoy, Ray Winstone, Dawn French and Michael Madsen. There was care poured into this picture, and it shows.
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe has something for everyone. Lovers of fantasy will be impressed by the  mythological creatures (which include everything from great-looking centaurs and griffins to hideous monsters at the service of the White Witch). Children will enjoy the whimsical story, the frequent close calls as our heroes dodge danger at every turn, and the character growth. Adults will love Tilda Swinton as the villain, who always remains the most imposing and frightening figure on-screen. They’ll also admire the handling of this sophisticated story. It’s a plot complex enough to keep you entertained, but not so much that young audiences won’t be able to keep up.
The Chronicles of Narnia makes me think of The NeverEnding Story; another fantasy adventure that compliments its source material by bringing the visuals to stunning life and preserving what made the story endure. I'll even call it "good for the kids" because it takes them seriously. There are intense moments that allows for a full range of emotions but its tried-and-true themes mean young ones won't be overwhelmed. When you catch it, make sure you stick around for the credits. There’s a scene midway hinting at more to come. (Extended version on DVD, July 21, 2017)

The Gray Man Review
The Gray Man Review
The Gray Man is touted as the most expensive movie that Netflix has produced for an original movie. It is based off of the 2009 book of the same name. This movie has been floating around Hollywood since the 2010’s. At one point Brad Pitt was even supposed to star. So finally The Russo Brothers, still hot off of directing Avengers: Endgame, have brought their talents to the project and got the…

The Gray Man (15): "Just Another Thursday".
#onemannsmovies review of "The Gray Man" (2022). #THEGRAYMAN. Gosling-led action thriller that's formulaic but well done. 3.5/5.
A One Mann’s Movies review of “The Gray Man” (2022). I mean, obviously “The Gray Man” should be “The Grey Man”. I despair that we will ever teach our American brethren to spell right! Now showing on Netflix, the company managed to throw $200 million at producing this. And (a bit like the equally glossy “Red Notice“) a lot of that money is visible on the screen. Bob the Movie Man…

MCU’s Biggest Problem
Tumblr media
It is time for the MCU to get rid of the Sokovia Accords.  NOW.  Ever since its debut in “Captain America:  Civil War”, it has done squat for the franchise.  Writers for the franchise have either mishandled this narrative device in movies and television shows like “Civil War”, “Ant-Man & the Wasp” and “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” with sloppy or implausible writing; or have completely ignored it.  Worse, moviegoers are still expected to believe that an accord is a law (it’s not).  I get the feeling that Kevin Feige, writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, and the writers for “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” and other MCU projects do not know the definition of “accord”.  Also, Feige and his writers, along with Mutant Enemy and its writers have failed to grasp that the Sokovia Accords is basically a violation of the U.S. Constitution, something I had immediately knew six years ago.  Are fans of the MCU really expected to believe that it is okay for any government to strictly monitor, harass or imprison people from a certain group, due to the actions of a handful of individuals from that particular group?  Isn’t that a form of bigotry?  Are you telling me that Kevin Feige, Marvel Films, Disney Studios and the Mutant Enemy production company are advocates of bigotry after all?  If not . . . find a way to finally get rid of the Sokovia Accords.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010)
Tumblr media
If The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader had been a standalone film, it might’ve been ok. Unfortunately, this isn’t just a standalone film, it’s a sequel to The Prince Caspian, itself a follow-up of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. After seeing those two films, this one feels profoundly mundane, maybe even *gulp* boring.
Set three years after the events of Prince Caspian, Edmund (Skandar Keynes) and Lucy (Georgie Henley) are staying with their irritating know-it-all younger cousin Eustace (Will Poulter) when all three are called to Narnia. Sailing aboard the “Dawn Treader” with King (formerly Prince) Caspian (Will Poulter), our heroes seek the swords of the seven Lords of Narnia. With those artifacts, they can repel the carnivorous mist threatening the land.
With this film, Green Lantern and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer we can confidently say that unless your evil mist/cloud is hiding some horrific monsters or phantasmal sailors, your movie is doomed. This picture's first major issue is its lack of an interesting conflict, nevermind villain. After facing off against Jadis, the White Witch (Tilda Swinton) and Caspian’s treacherous uncle, you want the stakes to go even higher. At the very least, the emotions need to compensate but it's hard to feel threatened by a fog bank, even if it is green - the colour of stink. That wouldn’t be such a big deal if the quest they embarked upon was interesting, but it isn’t. Not compared to what we've seen before. They meet a bunch of silly-looking creatures, travel from one location to another and the biggest threat to the Dawn Treader’s crew… is the possibility or starvation or mutiny. Peter, Susan, Lucy and Edmund lived in Narnia for years, ruling as kings and queens. This quest would’ve been a Saturday afternoon for them back in the old days.
Voyage of the Dawn Treader isn’t bereft of charm. The individual characters are great. Lucy and Edmund have their own characters arcs, and they’re not the same ones as before. Eustace is irritating for about a third of the film but you eventually come to like him. If you’re wiling to forgive the lame plot, it might actually be worth sitting through to see more of Caspian or the swashbuckling mouse Reepicheep (voiced by Simon Pegg). Those are great characters, the kind you fall in love with and tear up when you realize it’s time for you and them to once again part ways. There is a place for this kind of story, the kind that’s ultimately gentle and filled with more whimsy than actual action… it’s just that after two epic battles where hundreds of creatures waged wars, this trek is a letdown. The older siblings’ swan song was a tale for the ages. Lucy and Edmund have got little to write home about after this fetch quest. I didn’t even feel that the special effects were that great. They’re fine, but you’re not wowed by them like you were before.
After seeing The Prince Caspian, I was eagerly looking forward to more. Unfortunately, the next entry in the series, The Magician's Nephew, never materialized, making The Voyage of the Dawn Treader a forgettable and low final note. (Theatrical version on Blu-ray, September 30, 2017)
