Simply Magic

Rating: 10/10 (24 December 2005)

At the tender young age of 7 I remember sitting down every Sunday evening to watch the BBC's adaptation of Narnia and so 16 years later it was with trepidation that I ventured to the cinema to watch Narnia FINALLY on the big screen. From the opening credits to the last it drew me in and I was immediately taken back to my childhood. The acting is marvellous, the special effects amazing, the scenery is breathtaking and the music is powerful and invoking. Funny at times, it is also deeply moving and in some parts quite distressing (for this, I must wander why it got given a PG certificate). However, if like me you are a child of the 80s with memories of the TV series then this film is a MUST SEE. I felt like was 7 again and wishing that I were Lucy so I too could go into the wardrobe. This film is quite possibly now my favourite, I really don't think there are enough ways to describe how fantastic it really is.
Narnia, is quite simply, magic.
