New Narnia trailer has lightsabers, your Potter franchise is invalid

Check out the first trailer for The Chronicles Of Narnia: Voyage Of The Dawn Treader. Okay, it's not a real lightsaber, but I'm trying my best here.

Remember the Narnia movies? How quaint. There was a time when they were thought to rival even the Harry Potter movies in terms of box-office draw, then Prince Caspian came out, the entire PG universe performed a collective shrug and everyone plum forgot them.

That's not to say they weren't entertaining, mind, at least for what they were: badly-acted fantasy romps about $100 million removed from a slot on BBC's Saturday night primetime line-up. Voyage Of The Dawn Treader, the third Narnia movie, still has sub-CBBC acting (so wooden I thought the wardrobe was back) but at least it has a story. A story about boats. I think. I never read it. I was more of a Where's Wally fan.
