Everything I thought it would be...and more!

Rating: 10/10 (11 December 2005)

Wow!! I have to say that Narnia is by far the best fantasy adventure movie I have seen in my entire life! I'm not A huge fan of Harry Potter like lots of people I know, However I really liked The Lord of the Rings...But not nearly as much as this movie. When I got to the theater on the day Narnia was released, it was already packed with people! Some who walked in slightly late even had to leave=) I thought that Georgie Henley, the little girl who played Lucy was adorable, and she did so well considering she has never acted before. This little girl played her part remarkably and I don't think there is another child actress out there that could have done better. Hopefully she'll be in more upcoming movies, because it's good to have a variety of children in movies instead of the same ones over and over, such as Dakota Fanning. Even though I love her amazing personality and acting abilities, she has been in so many recent movies! Dakota is so in demand right now that she doesn't even have to audition for her movies anymore! Anyways, to get back on topic, this little girl was just so amazing, and so cute. I loved her.
The other actors/actresses did great too! William Moseley, the guy who played Peter acted like a responsible older brother to his three siblings, looked after them and was brave enough to fight for Narnia. I think his acting abilities are pretty amazing, especially since he hasn't been in many movies besides Narnia. Skandar Keynes, who played Edmund did great in this movie too. His character was the second youngest of the four children, and he was the second to go through the wardrobe and into the magical world of Narnia. I thought he did really well. Last but not least, Anna Popplewell, who played Susan, the second oldest of the four. She did an awesome job as well. Her character was supposed to be friendly, but a little boring. At times she tries to act smart and superior to the rest of her siblings. Overall, I thought they all did an excellent job!
Another thing I loved about this movie was how close and precise it was to the original story. After seeing the movie, I came home and found The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe book in my closet. I started reading it, and it felt like I was watching the movie all over again. They did such a good job keeping it like the original, and I was so glad because I hate it when people take classics and ruin them by changing them too much.
All in all, this is such a wonderful, magical movie, and I loved it!! If you are thinking you won't like it because it seems like a kids movie, it's not. Narnia is a great movie for all ages, and C.S Lewis would be so proud. Definitely a 10/10.
