An excellent movie.

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2007)

Negative comments here left me wondering if people who wrote them ever watched "The Chronicles of Narnia" at all. Or how people manage to watch the quality of CGI instead of movies? I don't get it.
It's just a wonderful fairy tale, it's not about good CGI or bad CGI. (I'm not an expert so I won't judge, but to me it all looked pretty natural. And now that's a cliché - to blame CGI instead of your own lack of taste.) It's a beautiful film and one that you really want to watch again.
Yes, I've read the original novel by Lewis and, yes the spirit of the book isn't lost at all (the movie is a bit more serious, but not at all boring as some people claim). The storyline is kept mostly untouched too (nothing like what Jackson did to LoTR).
10/10 - I can't imagine how "Narnia" could possibly be better.
