A ticket to a magical land

Rating: 10/10 (8 January 2006)

You could compare Narnia to Lord Of The Rings in detail and richness. The movie moves in quite of a fast pace and there are no dull moments. Like with King Kong the CGI has reached a new level. The animals look and move in a life like way. The child actors do a very good job especially the little Georgie Henley as Lucy Pevensie. The other star of the show is Tilda Swinton as the white witch. I can't remember seeing a better bad guy/gal on the silver screen recently. Sometimes the obvious Christian undertones bothered me but you have to remember when the books were written. Otherwise the story is pure class. What made me gasp in awe were the battle scenes at the end of the movie. All the details, camera tricks and sword fight choreography made it something wonderful. I can't wait for the other Narnia movies to come out.
