Great movie

Rating: 8/10 (21 January 2006)

I disliked the opening scene very much, because I feel it doesn't match the overall atmosphere in the book. The rest of the film was great, though, being very true to the book. Having read the book before, some plot turns weren't nearly as great, compared to not having read the book beforehand.
But isn't it strange that the movie is rated for 12+, while the books are written for children under that age? I guess it is the fighting that makes it a 12+ movie. But hey, Harry Potter contains fighting too. :)
I would also recommend it for adults, as it is still a nice movie to watch, and I also recommend reading the book, because it gives more information. The book 'the magicians nephew' also gives a lot of backstory.
