As someone who did not read the book(s) and had low expectations, this was fairly well.

Rating: 7/10 (12 February 2020)

Some parts of the movie were pretty much what I expected, Fantasy for kids. But especially towards the end it gets pretty 'epic' at times, even for adults.
Other big Fantasy franchises like 'Harry Potter' or 'Lord Of The Rings' come to mind as comparison and after watching the first 'Chronicles Of Narnia', it feels like the little cousin of these. Can it keep up with them? Partially it can, but not in whole. I still do sense potential here.

The CGI is believable and good. Liam Neeson as Aslan - I can live with that. Tilda Swinton as White Witch was a pleasant surprise. Child actors were mostly good.

All in all, this movie is better than I expected it to be. Not everything was perfect, but it was inspiring enough to be good and shows potential for the prequels.
