There are many reasons why I love the movie "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe."
1. Mythical Creatures: I love stories about mythical creatures. "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" has centaurs, fauns, unicorns, and talking beavers, horses, and lions. There were also a few mermaids who didn't have any part in the story, but they were my favorite kind of mythical creature. But, if I had to choose my favorite mythical creature that actually had a part in the movie, I would choose the centaur. I love horses, and it's amazing how there is a mythical creature that is a mix of a horse and a human.
2. Tilda Swinton: Although I have never seen Tilda Swinton in anything else before I watched the movie, I could tell that she has had a lot of experience as an actress since she was so good. Then, when I looked at her resume on IMDb, I saw that she was in so many movies and TV shows that it was hard to count. She has a fabulous performance as the White Witch in "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe."
3. William Moseley: William Moseley may not be the best actor ever to live, but he was still good. I thought that he was really cute, and I liked the character he developed. He seemed to be a nice older brother who wasn't too grown up and acted like a dad. I just finished reading "The Outsiders" for school, and I didn't like the character of Darry because he seemed too grown up because he had to take care of his two younger brothers since his parents died. But Peter's parents didn't die, so when William Moseley had to act like an older brother, he didn't have to look too grown up. The part that I feel shows that Peter was still like a child was at the beginning of the movie when he was at the train station and he started looking at the soldiers, and Susan had to act like an older person and make him stop day dreaming to hand the woman the paper.
4.Overall story: The overall story was a good idea by C.S. Lewis. I read the book before I saw the movie, and when I found out that they were going to make a new movie for it, I was really worried that the filmmakers might ruin the story, because I saw a different movie of "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe," and it seemed really fake and the acting was terrible. Although I was worried that the filmmakers would ruin the story, I was excited, because it looked like a good movie, so I was hoping that the story wouldn't be ruined. I was pleased after I saw the movie, because it was true to the book, and the production was excellent.
