Review by Katie

4.4 / 5

Oh my word. What can I say? This movie is beautiful.
I got chills down my spine as the opening scene of the bombings went onto the screen.
The movie was just wonderful. It's one I will see a number of times.
Everything just went as I imagined. As I've always imagined.
I got teary eyed as Aslan was stabbed. Leaped for joy in my heart as Aslan came back to life (yay deeper magic)
Everything was just wonderful. I can't wait until the next ones come out.
And I don't want much spoilers to be in this, so I'll keep it a little short.
At the ending when Lucy looks to Aslan leaving, and Tumnus says "Don't rush Him, afterall, He isn't a tame Lion." and after that I mouthed "But He's good." and then Lucy smiled and said "But He's good.". That made me happy. That's one of my favorite lines.
Word's cannot describe my happiness right now. It's just beautiful movie. You just need to see it.
