Completely Lives Up to the Hype

Rating: 10/10 (11 December 2005)

This movie blew me away. It exceeded all my expectations in all areas. I have never read the book, so this comes from a person who saw the movie first. Tilda Swinton steals the show in my opinion, as the White Witch, while the CGI and animal-speech is astonishingly believable. The soundtrack is in a league of its own with its own unique feel and its own unique melodies. While the children's' acting doesn't convince very well at the beginning, it all picks up and we see some very talented youngsters, taking on a very passionate story extremely well. The entire film is just such a pleasure to watch - go and see it. It's worth every minute.
