Thoughts

I was highly impressed with the movie. After the first half hour of really getting into it, I never looked at my watch for the rest of the time. From the previews, the special effects looked great but I wasn't so certain of the acting. Lucy's character and range of facial expressions is amazing! Tilda Swintin as The White Witch can raise the hair on your arms with her lightning fast mood swings. The other children were well cast, too. As someone who's been reading the Narnia novels for over 15 years, I was glad to see they stayed pretty true to the story and brought it to life better than ever. I cried during the scene with Aslan, I'll admit. The music by Harry Gregson-Williams is beautiful. I've been listening to it since I saw the movie.
