Surprised....in a very good way

Rating: 9/10 (19 April 2006)

I heard a lot of praise about this movie and I'm into special effects and movies like this such as King Kong. I didn't think to see this in theaters because i thought it was a childish movie. To some extent it is a movie really built for a younger age group and one thing i wished to see was some more realism when some soldiers got killed but at the same time i didn't mind too much since the action had me hooked. I went into this movie expecting to be mildly entertained and i didn't think it could compare to King Kong or Harry Potter. Well I'll be the first to admit how wrong i was. The movie was just stunning in every aspect. The Visual effects were second only to King Kong but this movie didn't really stress Visual effects as much as King Kong did. The music i thought fit right into the Movie and especially in the scene before the big battle. The Action was good and every character was interesting and vital to making this movie the success that it is, from the Beavers to the children. The one character that stood out was Aslin the lion because he stole every scene he was in. C.S. Lewis made a great choice when he chose the lion because it signifies a majestic and honorable animal and by the end of the movie you won't see him as an animal but as a character just like the children. In the end, not every one will like this movie, not if your all into blood and gore or if you don't like a little childhood aspects to your movie, but at the same time if you like movies like this you would only hurt yourself by missing it. This was one of the best movies of last year. 9/10
