A good surprise

Rating: 9/10 (11 December 2005)

. When I saw the first trailers of this movie, I really thought that it would be a strange one, I couldn't see this getting much of a success. I actually was expecting it to be just another simple fantasy movie for kids. Yesterday I watched it and I had a big surprise. It's just a wonderful movie !!! I see many people will be comparing it with LOTR, mainly because the same company was responsible for all visual effects in both movies, but while LOTR exceeds a bit over Narnia, it has its own original charm and mood. Many people may dismiss this movie due its obvious Christian references, moved by their prejudice against Christian values and culture. The movie may get some bad reviews due to this particular feature, but it's a big mistake. Apart of that, this is a beautifully-told, engaging and interesting fairytale history, with amazing visual effects and good characterization. I was pleased to see this movie, it totally beats my expectations. No one should miss it.
