A beautifully done and moving film

Rating: 10/10 (8 December 2005)

As a teacher I am always looking forward to seeing movies based on children's books, but I never know what to expect. Many screenplays are often lacking in their accurate portrayal of the book. However, this movie was beautifully done and very true to the original work by C.S. Lewis. The actors were well cast, the cinematography was wonderful, the soundtrack was very nicely done, and the special effects were exceptional. I was truly moved by this movie and very pleased with the final result. It is an excellent choice for older children especially those who have read the original book. There were a few scenes that were a little intense for my seven year old son, but he still loved the movie and hasn't stopped talking about all of the characters. Overall I give this movie a 10 and recommend it for anyone who would like to revisit a classic story or experience it for the first time.
