greatest Disney movie made off a book in a LONG time! *possible spoilers*

Rating: 10/10 (28 May 2008)

OK, first off, I have been a HUGE fan of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe since I had to read it for summer reading in fourth grade. It's the ONLY summer reading book I've ever read that I reread about 3 (or more) times a year.
When I saw the original ads, (You know, the ones with just the name and the snow-covered mountains in the background?) I was actually looking forward to seeing it. Unlike other movies (those of you who've read my other posts, you know that I usually hate the previews, love the movie) I actually wanted to see this. Then mom told me "I saw an actual preview for this, it looks really scary", but heck, I'd been reading and rereading this book since fourth grade so there was NO WAY I was gonna miss this thing.
The story of the four brave Pevensie children that get teleported to another world inside a wardrobe where a war is taking place at the same time as WWII, befriend chatty beavers, fauns, centaurs, talking animals, and meet the heroic lion Aslan (Liam Neeson), then fight in a battle against Jadis, the White Witch (Tilda Swinton) that changes their lives forever...I enjoyed every single minute of this, both reading AND watching the movie.
I have to say, for me, the best part of the movie was the battle. It was incredible, the CGI was amazing, and the score by Harry Gregson-Williams was fantastic, almost John Williams-esquire! My friends and I were practically sobbing (Seriously, I NEVER do that unless I have an inexplicable love for the character) at Aslan's death scene.
