Very Well Done

Rating: 9/10 (2 January 2006)

Overall, I was very impressed with this film. It was well done. The computer-generated effects were very crisp and enjoyable.
I have to say, it did not have the same epic feeling as the Lord of the Rings, however, having read the original books, I don't think the Chronicles of Narnia was intended to have the same feel as Lord of the Rings. Though both Christians, C.S. Lewis was more of a theologian, while Tolkien was more of a storyteller. One has to remember that when seeing the movie.
The movie was good and I definitely recommend it, however, I can't help but feel the movie was missing something... Perhaps this was due to the fact that I had read the books and listened to an audio dramatization as a kid -- It seems that the imagination still can do a better job at picturing this story, though the movie is definitely worth seeing and hopefully the other books will follow.
