CS Lewis would have had mixed views of this film

Rating: 7/10 (9 December 2005)

Cs lewis would have approved of the wartime beginning and period feel and it is a very English film. However he may not have liked some of the departing from the plot, but some of this provided necessary drama. Great performances from Liam Neeson as Aslan and James McAvoy as Tumnus. The White Witch is never really frightening and the children aren't convincing. Seems very like lord of the Rings at times, especially the scenery and battle sequences. A well directed film that doesn't hide the dark side and religious connotations. great for children and some humour for adults. best performance must go to the animated wolf Maugrim, very frightening
