What critics compared The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader to
As King Caspian, Ben Barnes (2007's " Stardust ") continues to showcase the same vapid lack of charisma that Orlando Bloom has; they're generically handsome and that's all they have going for them from an acting perspective.
Respectfully adapted by Australian screenwriter, Michael Petroni (The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader), the film opens with the wry voice of Death reminding us that he’ll come for all of us one day.
A contradiction between a veneer of innocence and the realities of Nazism and the Holocaust is a signature characteristic of “The Book Thief,” Markus Zusak’s immensely popular young-adult novel, from which the movie, directed by Brian Percival (“Downton Abbey”), was adapted, with a screenplay by Michael Petroni ( “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” ).
The Markus Zusak bestseller has been adapted for the screen (Michael Petroni, "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader") with a worthy cast hamstrung by poor directorial choices (Brian Percival, TV's 'Downton Abbey').
It’s to the credit of Percival (best known for helming several “Downton Abbey” episodes) and Petroni (“The Voyage of the Dawn Treader,” “Possession”) that they refuse to artificially inflate the story’s key points for melodramatic or tear-jerking purposes.
