Very good movie, sorry if you thought it was going to be Narnia

Rating: 9/10 (14 June 2009)

As a movie-goer who enjoys many kinds of movies, including war dramas and fantasy, I found this movie to be a refreshing, interesting blend of the two. If you want to watch a family-friendly fantasy adventure, go for The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, or Lord of the Rings. For those who were "disgusted" by the "horrific violence" and expected a "child fantasy movie", it's rated "R" for a reason! If you do not enjoy violent movies, if you do not like bleak stories, watch something else. However, if you are mature enough to handle an adult film, by all means see this movie. Although it may not be one of the best movies of all time, there is a reason it made those lists.
