I'm honestly not trying to compare the two. But to me, Narnia just seemed flat. The white queen looks to have been someone pulled off the street and put in a white dress. Other than her staff thingie, she was simply a face in the crowd. Azlan was barely in the film, and was rather dry. Much like the rest of the characters, IMHO.
To me, there seemed to be a distinct lack of MAGIC in the magical world of Narnia as I felt I could have filmed the human parts of the movie(add the CGI later) in about a weekend for a couple thousand $$$.

The only other role I know the actress from was playing the Archangel (Gabriel? Michael?) in "Constantine." She has... an unusual look, to say the least.
