Narnia Rocks!!!!!!

Rating: 9/10 (30 January 2007)

Like Harry Potter, this is one of those movies that I wanted to see ever since it hit the theaters but wasn't able to for a long time. In the meantime, my excitement continued to build to see this movie. Of course I have read the book a dozen times over again! The wait was well worth it, however! I wasn't disappointed. The reason for my rating score of 9 is because it took so long before we finally got to Aslan, who happens to be my favorite character of the book series and the movies, old and new. My favorite scene is the scene where the saintly and magnificent Aslan pounces upon the White Witch and tears her throat out, damning her world to damnation!! Let's not forget that this is a Walt Disney produced film and not the film of The Ghost and the Darkness staring Val Kilmer and Michael Douglas. So there is no film footage of graphic blood to show nor view. It took me forever to convince my mother to sit and see The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe along with me. I knew that she would adore it if I could only persuade her to watch it. And Aslan? Why, she absolutely fell in love with him!! My mother didn't know about the Christian/Jesus keynote of the story and she vowed that if Aslan died (and stayed dead), that she would no longer continue to watch the movie. I must also make it clear that a great justice was done for all of the CGI animal characters. They looked so beautiful and so real!!! Not to mention their voices!! Very well done!!!
