One of the nicest Disney's adventure movies

Advantages: Based on C.S. Lewis' book
Disadvantages: is unfaithful to the book

In my opinion, one of the most interesting movies produced by Disney, it is based ont one of the "Chronicles of Narnia, a book series about a magic place called Narnia. On "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe", four brothers and sisters, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy, refugees from the war, go to the house of Professor Kirke, and old and misterious man, and there they find a magic wardrobe that leads them to another world, on a place called Narnia, ...
...the White Witch, who stole the reign of Aslam, the Lion, and the four kids find out that they are destinated to free Narnia from the White Witch's hands, with the help of Aslam and the other magic animals that live there. Although the movie is unfaithful to the book (like all movies based on books), it is very nice, and good with the special effects. Like a Narnia fan, I recommend the movie, and, of course, the books. ...

Review of The Chronicles Of Narnia - The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe (DVD)

a better entry

Advantages: great f/x and better character development than the first film
Disadvantages: none

...of watching this film after the disapoinment of the first one, the lion the witch and the wardrope by any means was no lord of the rings, and before i get any critisisms it was always going to be compared, yes i know not the same story but would be compared in the epic scale, cgi, and acting. its was shoddy, didnt bring the world of narnia to the screen the way it should of been, However and this is a BIG HOWEVER. The second film, prince Caspian ...
...the best actors in the first one seemed to of taken some classes. The visual's were fantastic, the fighting extremely well choreographed and the tone a lot darker. I was overly impressed with how the director of the first film turned this around. it seem's as though he learned from his mistakes, listened to what fans wanted and put his heart and soul into this film. i as a kid loved the narnia books and was sorely dissapointed by the lion the witch ...

Chelio’s tears through the town in search for the Chinese criminal who has possession of his heart. Amy Smart, Dwight Yoakham, and Efren Ramirez revisit their roles from the original film. ***OVERALL OPINION*** I think Jason Statham is a fantastic actor anyway and I have to say that I loved this film. It was full of action and also has some funny ...
...I wouldn’t hesitate to watch Crank 2. My dad did how-ever borrow the DVD and after 30mins he switched it off as he couldn’t quite get into the film. If you like Jason as an actor and if you like his other films I think you with thoroughly enjoy this film. I would recommend it to anyone who like’s action packed films. (review als on dooyoo) ...

Review of Crank (DVD)

The fast was fast and the furious were furious

Advantages: Effects, Performance
Disadvantages: Ending

Overall the movie turned out not to be as boring as I thought it would be. When I heard about it I thought "great another movie about fast racing cars". After wathching it, my opinion changed. The actors/actresses performances were very well done. The effects made you hold your breath untill the sence was over and want to know what happens next. Being that I watched it after the fourth one was already out It was perfect Knowing ther was more to come. ...
...see this back round info.The reason it was good instead of excellent was because of the ending, which was really cool but could have been better. Unfortunetley, withut spoiling the movie there is only so much I can tell you. Thankyou for reading and I hope It was Excellent. ...
