Not at all let down

Rating: 10/10 (12 December 2005)

I was so excited to see Narnia coming to theaters, but I have to admit, I had my reservations about it, not sure it would come to par with the books. But, I was not let down at all. I loved it and saw it twice opening weekend. To bring to life C.S. Lewis' words and minds eye was amazing and done skillfully, sticking to the true story nearly word for word. Even knowing the story, I hung to the edge of my seat more than once. It is a beautiful film with rich, vibrant color and breathtaking landscaping. The characters and acting are priceless, fitting character to actor skillfully. Aslan is enchanting, frightingly awe-striking and good and gentle all at once. I was not disappointed in Narnia at all and I highly recommend it and can't wait for the second of the chronicles.
