Narnia!

Rating: 8/10 (21 February 2008)

After watching the movie "Chronicles of Narnia, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe," I would rate it at an eight. The movie was very entertaining to watch. I loved how there was all different creatures that were all animal or half animal half human. The artist was very creative. Mark Johnson Philip Steuer did an amazing job bringing all these characters to life. In my opinion the movie is way better than the book.
This story is about four kids that get sent away because there is a war going on over Europe. They end up at some professor's house and the one child Lucy finds a wardrobe. It's a door to a magical land. She tells her brothers and sister they end up on going on an adventure.
When comparing the book to the movie I think that the book was more child- friendly. It described all the animals; they were what I expected them to look like. The book also made Edmund seem more evil than in the movie. In the movie they made Edmund seem fairly innocent. Lastly I like how in the movie they showed the kids life before they went to the professor's house. In the book they don't explain much of their life or why they get sent away.
Overall I enjoyed the movie more than the book, but the book was still good and better then I expected the book to be. The movie stuck to the plot of the story that C.S. Lewis wrote.
