True to the Story & the Message

Rating: 9/10 (9 December 2005)

I always applaud directors who stay true to the story and message which this movie does. The story, adventure, and graphics are outstanding and definitely want to see it again. The tale is a classic good vs. evil but for me it also makes the point that people are not all good or all evil. Everyone has good and evil inside them. The most important thing is to realize when you are committing evil acts and ask for forgiveness from the person that your wronged. And as the person wronged forgive others who wrong you. The Edmund and Mr. Thomnus characters speak volumes about being a character with a mixture of good and evil.
My only negative comment on the movie is it could have used more character development. I realize the challenge in this with so many characters while keeping the movie to 2 1/2 hours. I am sure one of my personal heroes, CS Lewis, would be proud especially how it speaks of the Christian message without clobbering you over the head with it.
