Review by DustBunny

3.9 / 5

This Movie was first, different than I expected. But in a good way. The beginning(which was longer than in the book) really got you into the story. You found a little about what kind of family they were and what they were going through. The middle is great. It shows how they get to Narnia and what they do there and how they're still struggling with being a family. When they all meet Aslan, Peter finds his true destiny and rises up to be the leader of his family, and Aslan's army. Susan and Lucy grow closer and comfort and help Aslan. And Aslan shows his true power. In the end they all become more of a family than they ever were and became Kings and Queens of Narnia. The Movie was different than I expected because of some change of story and focus. If you are a huge fan of the books and everything C.S. Lewis(Which I am) don't be suprised to be a tiny bit dissapointed with some of the changes and all. It still rocked!! Go see it and see where it leads you...............
