A Worthy Adaptation

Rating: 10/10 (18 January 2020)

I must say that I'm surprised by how many negative reviews there are. Plenty of people are crying and screaming because of what they call "religious propaganda", which is rather sad. The Chronicles of Narnia is an excellent fantasy series, and this adaptation, while not completely faithful, does a pretty decent job of bringing the story to life. It faithfully recreates the most important parts of the book, from tea with Mr. Tumnus to Aslan's triumphant return. It's not "Harry Potter", it's not "Percy Jackson", and thankfully, it's not tasteless schlock like "His Dark Materials". The acting, score, visuals, story, and morals all make this a very worthwhile way to spend an evening. It's a unique classic, and if you can't watch it because it triggers you, then you are missing out.
