There's sultry chemistry between the leads: Rhys-Meyers, who has the pouty sensuality of a Jude Law left out to spoil, and Johansson, with the humid allure of a classic noir blond.

But, unfortunately for fans of the books and the parents dragged with them, Andrew Adamson’s (“Shrek”) work fails on two counts: accurately presenting Lewis’ classic story and creating an entertaining fantasy epic film, especially in the wake of the “Rings” series. Adamson inflates the simple, magical allegory of “The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe” into 140 minutes of unnecessary battle sequences, uninspired acting...
