Narnia was breathtaking!

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2005)

Narnia was breathtaking! I think my husband and I have been waiting to see this movie since the first time we read the books as children  and this portrayal was everything we've waited for! The scenery was beautiful, and the children did an incredible job  especially since they don't have much prior acting experience (or any experience in Henley's case). Henley made an absolutely adorable Lucy! My children (age 4 & 7) also were spellbound the entire movie. It's only December and my 4 year old is already convinced she's going to be Queen Lucy for Halloween!
Our only real criticism was that the female characters didn't have roles that were as active as they were in the book. They seemed more peripheral in the movie than they were originally written, but Henley and Popplewell did a wonderful job of portraying Lucy and Susan anyway.
The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe has easily been added to our list of favorite movies. We hope Disney continues the rest of the Narnia series!
