"The Chronicles of Narnia", A Perfect Fantasy

Rating: 8/10 (6 October 2006)

"The Chronicles of Narnia:/The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" is a perfect fantasy. It satisfies the adult thirst for entertainment just as well as that of the older child. It involves the adventures of four young siblings who enter a fantastic world of elves and witches and animated animals that engulfs our imagination. Georgie Henley plays the youngest of the troupe, Lucy Pevensie, who first witnesses the magical land of Narnia. Her initial adventure eventually ensnares the others. Skandar Keynes plays Edmund Pevensie the younger of the brothers, and he actually cinches the attraction for the older two. William Moseley plays Peter Pevensie, the eventual leader of this group of adventurers. And Anna Popplewell plays Susan Pevensie, the older and most attractive sister who is more like an assistant to Peter in their fantastic story. The music is essential and awe inspiring. The computer graphic generated animals were enough to fool me. Liam Neeson is the voice of the lion, Aslan, and he was the perfect choice for this entertaining piece. Tilda Swinton plays the White Witch and her piercing eyes and gripping expressions make her the most outstanding source of evil seen in cinema in years. Don't miss this movie.
