Review by amber

3.7 / 5

So, this movie was pretty darn good! I was rarely disappointed in it, though at times, I was little surprised at the minor changes that were made. I was only very sorely disappointed in the moive when there was no romp with Aslan and the girls. I was waiting for that...but that was one of the only areas I was truly disspointed with.

I must say, Tilda Swinton was wonderful! I had my doubts, but she was perfectly chilling and evil. She was frosty, and as the frost melted, her crown melted as well.

Liam Neeson voice as Aslan was also pretty darn awesome! Skander Keynes played Edmund just like it should be. The beavers were interesting, and mabye not the best, but all right. James Mcavoy, I was very happy with him as Tumnus.
