Well done.

Rating: 8/10 (26 December 2005)

This movie could have gone wrong, horribly wrong. It didn't. The only oddzo bit was Santa showing up handing out medieval weapons. I mean if Santa is going to show up in Narnia and start arming the natives like some covert CIA operative - he should have been handing out ak47s and semi-automatics. You would have sure needed them for Jadis and her army of most-wanted werewolves and beasty-thingeys. This was in the book so I guess it's entirely kosher - but it was a sequence where the movie seemed warped and hard to take. Wicked white witch - very good. Child actors - outstanding. Other than the already mentioned arms for children Santa-gate, this movie was very good all around. I hope they make more.
