Stupendous...

Rating: 10/10 (10 June 2006)

...is the only word I can use to describe this picture. It's glorious to see how well Lewis' creation is brought to the screen. Everything is believable, from the recreation of the Blitz, to the children themselves, to the Wardrobe (which looks exactly as I imagined it when I read the books so long ago!) and every facet of the recreation of Narnia, the landscape, the creatures, the White Witch, the Lion, the faun, and the Beavers!
What an achievement. I was weeping with joy when it was over. I was so afraid that Lewis' gorgeous books, which mean so much more than they appear to on the surface, would be diminished by trying to make them into film, but they are enhanced. I want to go back and read them all again! And I can't wait for the next film!
