Rather overdone, but very good all the same.

Rating: 8/10 (17 September 2008)

I very much enjoy this adaption of the famous book by C.S Lewis, but there were certain things changed from the book in this film that did not need to be changed:
1. The landscape and everything was overdone, and it looked fake.
2. The end battle was overdone.
3. At least one of the children looked different to how they looked before (for example, in the book, Lucy had black hair, not brown).
However, some of the things that happened in the film worked very well. All the main actors and actresses were good, the CGI worked well and was very effective, the people who voiced the CGI characters did well and the way the story was shortened worked as it should have done, although some of the film seemed a bit rushed at points, but the whole film would have seemed even longer if they had lengthened scenes.
You probably know the story, four children are evacuated to the country in the time of WWII, they find a wardrobe that leads to another world, they meet a lion called Aslan and they meet an evil witch. This summary says it all.
I recommend this film to people who appreciate what modern technology can do nowadays, people who have read the book and people who like fantasy films. Enjoy! :-)
