Exhillorating Adventure that Fits in a Room

Rating: 7/10 (12 December 2005)

After having seen the preview of The Chronicles of Narnia, I was left wide-eyed and brimming with excitement at the anticipation of a sequel.
Narnia is a well-cut, well-rounded film adaptation of C.S. Lewis' classic set of Chronicles. One of the many appeals of the film is that it is entertaining for all ages. It captures the imagination of both those who are young, and those who are still young at heart.
Lucy was exceedingly well-played by the very engaging Georgie Henley who shows ability far beyond her years.
The CGI in this film is nothing short of a modern marvel. The seamless Lion is truly unbelievable. The single best CGI animal I have seen to date. (Better than Jackson's King Kong.) Tilda Swinton plays an average White Witch. Nothing out of the realm of what was expected. William Moseley and Anna Popplewell playing Peter and Susan respectively, also did apt jobs. Nothing outstanding. I feel that James McEvoy's "Mr. Tumnus" was a far more entertaining and engaging character than that of Peter, Susan or Edwin. But then, it may just have been written that way by Lewis...
I think most would agree with me when I say that the Lion and Lucy stole the show.
