Brought my Childhood to life

Rating: 10/10 (10 December 2005)

I grew up reading these books. They were my life's blood. I read it for the first time in the summer before 3rd grade and was captivated by it. I read it over, and over again. Those books were some of my favorite childhood memories. Sitting in the theater watching my favorite story unfold before my eyes was an amazing feat. They captured it ever so well and Liam Neeson was brilliant. The White Witch was terrifying yet so regal. Aslan himself was also an oxymoron almost. He seemed so dangerous, and yet in his eyes so gentle. The graphics on him were very detailed, from every hair on his head even to his eyebrows! There were moments of suspense that keep you on the edge of your seat even though you know what happens (if you have read the book). The children were genius, each of them showing maturity in some moments. You feel connected with them all. It is a great movie for any age. It is however a boarder line PG movie. There was no blood shown which is most likely the only thing keeping it from being a PG13. I highly recommend this film.
