A wonderful adaptation of the first book in the best fantasy series EVER!!!

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2005)

"The Lord of the Rings" was good, but soooo drawn out. "Harry Potter" was just good. What sets "The Chronicles of Narnia" apart is the fact that the story is just all around more interesting, along with the symbolism.
In this film, four kids find a magical world in a large wardrobe. The world is under the reign of a false ruler. A witch. When the four kids arrive, so does a lion, and things begin to change.
The symbolism in this movie is obvious. The White Witch is Satan. Aslan is Jesus. Come on, I mean The White Witch kills him and he comes back and when he kills her, he says: "It is finished", the same three words Jesus said on the cross.
Tilda Swinton was a better White Witch than the old one because when she pretended to be nice to Edmund, it was convincing. The four kids, particularly Georgie Henley, were really great too.
This movie is a great family movie or anyone just big on epics.
10/10
