A Brilliant Must Have For All Who LOve CS Lewis

Rating: 10/10 (21 August 2006)

This is one of the biggest hits of the previous Christmas and rightly deserved its high merits. I was a bit suspicious if the director and the whole cast would manage such a delicate and thrilling book as The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe. The huge success of The Lord Of The Rings only made my fears bigger. But then the film came out and that was a real smash! Everything is excellent here - young children, beautiful British nature, absolutely excellent role of Tilda Swinton as The White Witch (she is so terrible and beautiful at the same time that you feel that the Evil really may be disguised as an angel of light), the impeccable video effects. And the Lion Aslan - he was so real, so mighty and so kind! His death and his resurrection are very well shown and the battle scene, especially the silent part seconds before the grand clash is just jaw-dropping! If there is the next film this winter, I am looking forward to seeing it!
