They got it right this time!

Rating: 9/10 (10 December 2005)

Hollywood finally got it right. have you ever seen any of the cartoon films of this children's classic? if you have, then you've seen how Hollywood got it wrong.
But this time the stars and planets aligned, and the production team delivers an exciting adventure to be enjoyed by both children and adults. i think we've become blase' about cgi magic, but Narnia LWW blends cgi into the adventure of 4 children in the frozen outpost of Narnia in a seamless pictorial vista.
the four squabbling siblings meet beavers, and a faun, flee talking wolves, and engage an assortment of mythical ogres in a climatic battle. all of this cgi film-making brings the c s lewis fable/allegory to a strikingly visual ascending array of images as good and evil meet on the battlefield.
while the film runs over 2 hours, it's worth the sit, because you won't notice the time a bit.
by the way, the actor who plays Peter bears a striking resemblance to Prince William. i'm sure it's just a coincidence. it must be a coincidence, i think.
