I really loved it

Rating: 9/10 (17 April 2011)

This is the first one of a series of 3 released movies and so far I like this one the best. I cannot describe with words how much little Lucy reminded me of my childhood hoping that there would be somewhere another world filled with these extraordinary fantasy creatures. The day she discovered the wardrobe as portal to Narnia made me fell in love with this story. Although it has a few battle scenes it never focuses on them just like in Lord of the Rings. Lord of the Rings was good too but in that series you tend to forget the story because of the many battles. I liked that they put more emphasis on the plot here which I liked. If you would want to give the Narnia movies a try than I recommend you watching this one first. If you don't want to bother with too much violence I would say watch this one and not the sequel. The 4 child actors/actresses playing the Pevensie children did a really good job here coming across as believable brothers and sisters. You might not like Edmund at first but it will all come good. Too bad with growing up the story became darker too. Splendid role also by Tilda Swinton as the white witch. She just has the perfect emotionless and cold expression on her face to play such an evil character. Give this movie a try I say.
