"about as interesting as Chekov in a "Star Trek" sequel"

interesting as Chekov in a "Star Trek" sequel. Susan (Anna Popplewell)
is sullen and unpleasant, and Peter (William Moseley), the eldest, is
pompous. Edmund (Skandar Keynes) was shady last time, but he's learned
his lesson, so now he's boring. And Lucy (Georgie Henley) is no longer
a little girl with a cute character face, but a pretty young lady on
the brink of puberty. As such, she no longer effortlessly embodies
spiritually gifted innocence.

Sheesh is right!!
You're posting about a new "Narnia" film to a group of news groups that
are all connected with "Star Trek" of one variety or another, so you
include the word "Chekov" just to make it "on topic"
Sheesh!! Yah, right, perhaps you should have your mummy check your stuff
before you post it!!
Dolt!!

That critic obviously forgot about the "nuclear wessels" thing, and
Chekov discovering Khan and getting the worm in his ear. I would call
those incidents "interesting."

The Chekov reference was in the review of the film.
I think the point of the post was not to say anything
about the film being reviewed, but to note the use
of the Chekov reference and the fact that Star Trek
characters have become so well known in our culture
that saying something is "as interesting as Chekov
in the sequels" is a reasonably usable substitute for
comparing it to watching grass grow.

Trouble is, Chekov with a bug in his ear controlling his speech and
mannerisms was indistinguishable from, well, Chekov

Only *after* clicking on the link did I learn that except for the use
of Chekhov as a standard of comparison, this has nothing whatever to
do with Star Trek, but has to do with the Narnia sequel now in
theatres.
Except for feeling that the reviewer is being terribly unfair to claim
that a young girl has to make an effort to look innocent when she
hasn't even had her first menses yet, even if it's coming soon, I
*really* am unprepared to make any comment on this. (But then, even an
innocent 4-year-old might have to make an effort to appear
"spiritually gifted", so I might be interpreting the reviewer's words
unfairly.)
Look at the recent controversy over a young actress, for whom puberty
was several years in the past, who recently went to quite some effort
(with help from Annie Liebovitz) to look slightly other than innocent.
If girls that age are expected to look innocent, it is inconsistent to
say that much younger girls need to go to a lot of effort to maintain
the appearance of innocence.

the critic also clearly never read the book (not that im suggesting the
writer of the second movie did either), Susan is *supposed* to be sullen and
unpleasent in this story it sets up for the last movie where susan becomes
far more interested in life in our world refering to Narnia as "that silly
little game we used to play as children". one always has to laugh at the
competence of a critic who criticising an actor for giving the performance
that is actually required of them. I must admit im surprised that the second
of the chronicles movies was 'Prince Caspian', I realise that was the order
that they were written but in in-story chronological terms it is actually
the fourth story. (the correct chronological sequence within the story is
The Magicians Nephew; The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe; The Horse and
his boy (the events of which take place between the battle for Cair Paravel
and the children returning to our world during TLTWATW), Prince Caspian, The
Voyage of the Dawn Treader, The Silver Chair and lastly The Last Battle.
