Great for fans of the series

Rating: 8/10 (11 December 2005)

I'm not exactly a "fan" of Narnia, but I read the book this movie was based on. And I gotta say, this movie is very faithful. I don't think there was anything missing from the book, and it changes some things to keep us interested.
The actors gave some solid performances throughout, and hearing Liam Neeson as Aslan was very entertaining. The visual effects weren't perfect, but they satisfy. And this movie doesn't fail to keep you interested for the whole time. You'll be on the edge of your seat for a majority of the time, particularly during the final battle. It was "Lord of the Rings" toned down, basically.
And the audience agreed with me. They cheered when it was necessary and when it wasn't necessary. They also booed whenever the White Witch came on screen. It was really fun in there.
Not that this movie has some faults. The beginning felt a bit unnecessary and out of place. But it is still recommended. 8/10.
