Read It then Watch

Rating: 8/10 (25 February 2008)

"The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" was an action packed movie about four kids, Lucy, Susan, Peter, and Edmond, who were forced to move to the country side of England to escape the bombings of WWII. They moved in with there Uncle, who was a professor and lived in a huge mansion. While staying there the youngest of the four children, Lucy, came across a wardrobe in an empty room during a game of competitive Hide-n-Seek. While hiding in there, she just happened to come across another world called Narnia.
In a lot of ways I like this movie more then the book, but over all I would have to say the book is my favorite. I'd rate this movie a 8 out of 10, mostly because I don't think they did the best job with some of the effects in the scenes. Also I love reading, and I liked that I could picture the characters and scenes the way I wanted too.
I think all of the characters did a great job and played their roles perfectly. The scenes in this movie were put together well, and the seasons gave an effect of the differences between the worlds. The Witch and Aslan matched the seasons, and it helped show their personalities.
My advice to you would be to read the book first then watch the movie.
