Everything I hoped it would be

Rating: 9/10 (28 February 2007)

Wonderful. Being something like a LOTR freak, I couldn't wait till Narnia came out. The authors of the two books, C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, were friends in real life, both going to Oxford. My expectations were fulfilled. Almost. I thought that some of the action could have been done a bit better, like when the wolf attacks Peter. What's with that? The the wolf fully jumps on his sword. Everything else is great though. The four children are very well cast, but they did not achieve the huge amount of popularity as with the kids from Harry Potter. Aslan is amazing, the special effects and Liam Neeson's great voice brought him to life in a momentous way. The costumes, makeup and settings are amazing. They create a whole new world, just like LOTR did. The last battle is one of my favourite moments in film ever. The battle was barely talked about in the book, but Andrew Adamson turned it into an epic war. Amazing. A fully satisfying movie...9/10
