excellent

Rating: 9/10 (10 December 2005)

This is the movie that I've been waiting for, not the televised played back in the seventies (or eighties) that I had to endure with much disappointment. C.S. Lewis would've definitely been proud of the way Andrew Adamson handled the story, and the visual effects were of course spellbinding to watch. A worthy rival to Lord of the Rings, and I cannot wait for the next six to be completed. Until then, I will just have to read the rest of them, won't I? Great performances by the new-coming performers for Edmund, Lucy, Susan, and Peter, and of course Jim Broadbent. Tilda Swinton was vicious and just chilling (pun intended) as the White Witch, and Liam Neeson was just great as portraying the voice of Aslan. I totally recommend this film, though I think it would be far better if you read the novel(s) first, as I should have.
