Amazing!

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 2005)

I have never read the books and I never really knew anything about them either. In October, I saw the play at the Children's Theater, and I fell in love with this amazing story. So, when I saw the previews for the movie, I got really excited. Then, I finally saw it, and I was awestruck. It was AMAZING! The acting, the script, the effects, the overall mood of the movie was breathtaking. I, being an inspiring filmmaker actually got chills as the world of Narnia unraveled itself before my eyes. I knew as I was watching this movie, that I wanted to create the same effect for audiences. This movie is simply magical. Yes, it's a little childish, and yes it resembles some Lord of the Rings themes, but don't go into the movie thinking about those things. If you sit back in that seat and just watch the film, you will be flung into a magical and mythical world from which you will never want to leave. I wanted so bad to be inside of Narnia...I wanted to talk to Aslan...I wanted to fight the White Witch. In the end, that's what movies should do. They should make us WANT. They should make us WANT to be some part of the world that had been created for us. They should make us WANT to help the characters or in some cases hurt them. They should make us WANT to experience the film not just watch it. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe makes me WANT to do all of those things, and most of all it makes me WANT to see it again!
