The Adventures of Chris Fable

I put this on for my family based on a "friend's" recommendation. This movie cleared the room faster than a farting lion! If I could have given it zero stars I would have. Anyone giving this a good review is either a Christian with an agenda, someone involved in the making of it, or someone prancing you in to watching it. The special effects were awful. I should have known something was up when the DVD started and my stereo switched automatically to Dolby Pro Logic. Really? In 2010! Since this is IMDb and this should be a legitimate review, I will add that we watch a lot of eclectic movies and enjoy everything from Hollywood blockbusters to early Guy Richie films and foreign features. I appreciate irony, allegory, movies being deliberately camp, etc. This is not that! It is simply an awful movie that, if not for the Christian slant and backing, would never have made it to basic cable let alone to a theater or on to DVD.

I didn't pay a huge amount for this DVD but still think I was ripped off. Yes, I grant that trying to make a modern film version of the Pilgrim's Progress, which after all is over 400 years old, was never going to be easy. However, sadly the message that should have been conveyed was beaten into submission by the truly appalling acting. And as for the "breathtaking" special effects - no one in my family saw any. On the plus side, I went to sleep for about 40 minutes in the middle of the film, thereby wasting less time than the rest of my family. My 6 year old didn't mind it too much, but my 11 year old said it was rubbish. Don't waste your time.

I just wasted £3 on a movie I was led to believe was similar to Narnia - TESCO LIED TO ME!!!!! Do not under any circumstances EVER buy 'The Adventures of Chris Fable' (also known as The Wyld) unless you want to waste 85 minutes of your life watching Christian propaganda disguising itself as a kids movie! The so called special effects were terrible and the musical score was appalling, I think my 4 year old son could do better with a Video camera and a Fisher Price keyboard!!! Don't get me started on the acting! It was so wooden it was untrue - I've seen better school plays! How I sat through the whole movie I will never know, I guess I was just expecting something to happen, which it didn't. I can honestly say I HATE this movie and it will be going to the Charity shop before my kids ever see it - what a load of rubbish!!!!

Take a shot every time they make an overly religious metaphor, or quote the Bible. Drunk is the only way to watch this movie. *(note: please don't play this drinking game, you will get alcohol poisoning) Its utterly awful. The reviews are the best part about it! Stale acting Horrid scrip Horrendous soundtrack And I cannot begin to describe how plainly awful the special effects are. The only thing scenes I could stand to watch, were those with Iggy because he was the most normal one in it AND HE IS IN LEAGUE WITH THE DEVIL. A waste of £3. As if the tescos horse meat scandal wasn't enough.

If you want to watch something with better drama and acting watch episodes of doctor Who from the 70s, at least the special effects are better.

I like to think that I am quite open minded when it comes to films, so when my fiancé bought me this title for Christmas, stating that he thought it looked a little like Harry Potter from the cover (as I am a massive Harry Potter fan)I was willing to give it a go. On watching the film though, we found that the only similarities between it and Harry Potter were the fonts on the DVD cover. To call this a film is a gross exaggeration as from what I saw a rank amateur has got his/her hands on a camera and thought "I know, I'll film my mate running around the woods for 85 minutes, that'll be great entertainment". The acting, scenery, music and storyline were diabolical and the highlight for me was when I realised it was over. Comparing it to Narnia as it does on the box is nothing short of heinous. After watching about 20 minutes my fiancé and I found the most entertainment reading reviews of the film on here, so for these reasons if you have bought this DVD without reading the reviews here are a few uses for the disc, because under NO circumstances should you put it in your DVD player: 1. It serves as a good coaster (as pointed out by a previous review). 2. Put it in the microwave and watch the pretty colours. 3. Use it as a Frisbee. 4. Use under a wobbly table or chair leg to stabilise it, the disc is a good size for this. 5. Use as a handy compact mirror. In conclusion do not watch this film EVER, I have been cheated out of 85 minutes of my life that I will never get back, so I hope everyone else learns from my mistake and either does not buy it or if they have finds an alternative use for the disc.
