Gary Oldman as a werewolf, shrunken Rasta head, time travel. Every movie needs one of these three, in my opinion. “Prisoner of Azkaban” ruled.

In “Narnia”, scenes were faithfully reproduced whether they worked on screen or not. The White Witch tempts Edmund with sweets so addictive you’d sell your soul for one more bite, but in the film that doesn’t come across. I’d rather see a film break away from the original and become something new than try to replicate it and fall short.
