Good film, great dialogue, liked a lot.

Rating: 9/10 (19 December 2005)

Having seen this film twice I have felt that it definitely warrants more than one viewing. The opening scenes are good and whilst they are not vital to the story they set up a running theme throughout the film which works well. This film is brilliant from a personal perspective due to the way in which it sticks closely to the books. The children are on the whole good, Lucy is very adorable, peter suitably unsure of how best to protect the others and Susan and Edmund are suitably sullen in places, whilst when they do open up they become charming characters. The voices are done well and on the whole the animation is well done. A few problems with to much CG and a lack of dialogue ruin some of the battle moments however the battle itself is well done and suitably different enough from Lord of the Rings not to have me sitting their looking for elves and the armies of Mordor. Generally well done and, considering the certificate, a very well done film.
