From a fairy tale to epic fantasy!

Rating: 10/10 (1 September 2015)

This is a REALLY unpopular opinion but I think the first book was kinda overrated. It was too short and felt a bit rushed but that's just my opinion. The movie was faithful to the book bit there was one massive change. The book (and the BBC series) felt more like a fairy tale but they made the movie so epic! Some people may call it overlong but I loved it and honestly, I think it wouldn't be as epic if it was 90-120 min. CGI is incredible and everything looks so realistic! And young actors were great as the Pevensie children. Liam Neeson gives a powerful voice performance as Aslan and Tilda Swinton was pure evil as The White Witch.Jim Broadbent didn't have much scenes in the movie but he was really likable and his character will be better introduced in the rest of the franchise. Book readers will know. The beginning of the movie throws as straight in the action while introducing the Pevensies running into shelter during the World War II. The movie may be a little depressing at the beginning until they go to Narnia. Narnia is really beautiful and while it's the cold winter in the first half it still feels beautiful and the second half is spring and that's way this movie is the best to watch around Christmas and Easter. It's both magical and incredibly epic!
