1. Sarah - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the actors in the Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. The characters lacked depth and their performances felt flat. Aslan, the lion, was particularly disappointing as his voice lacked the majestic and powerful presence I had imagined from reading the book. Overall, I felt disconnected from the story because of the unconvincing performances of the actors.
2. Mark - 3 stars - While the overall storyline of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe was captivating, I couldn't help but feel underwhelmed by the actors in this film. Some of the child actors, in particular, seemed quite stiff and lacked the ability to truly bring their characters to life. As a result, I found it difficult to fully immerse myself in the magical world of Narnia. The performances just didn't meet my expectations.
3. Emma - 2 stars - I found the actors in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe to be lackluster. The main characters, especially the Pevensie children, seemed wooden and unconvincing in their roles. It was hard to believe that these children were truly experiencing the wonders and dangers of Narnia. The lack of chemistry between the actors also made it difficult to fully invest in the emotional arcs of the characters. Overall, the performances felt forced and failed to bring the enchanting story to life.
4. Alex - 1 star - The actors in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe were a major letdown for me. From the overly exaggerated line delivery to the lack of emotional depth, I struggled to connect with any of the characters. Even the talented Tilda Swinton as the White Witch couldn't salvage the weak performances. The lack of chemistry between the actors was evident and it made it challenging to believe in their relationships onscreen. I was truly disappointed by the overall acting in this film.
5. Rachel - 2 stars - I was not impressed with the actors in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. The child actors, in particular, seemed to lack the necessary acting skills to fully embody their characters. Their performances felt forced and inauthentic, making it difficult to become fully invested in the story. Even the more experienced actors failed to deliver compelling performances. It was a missed opportunity to bring such an enchanting book to life on the screen.
