Review by Dancer

4.9 / 5

This was a GREAT movie!! The only reason I gave editing a 4 was because I thought that the scene in the beaver's house and Aslan's resurrection could have been longer(they were still great!). The pevensie kids were perfect. Lucy was great, better than the last girl in the bbc shows. They all portrayed their characters perfectly. The battle scenes were great! Not to much blood and gore, but enough to satisfy Lord Of The Rings fans yet mild enough that my friends and I can bring our younger siblings( ages 5-9)to see it. All of the swords and weapons had great details.

Tilda was perfect as the white witch. She made it easy to believe that Edmund was taken in by her and believed her. Aslan was perfect. You couldn't even tell that he was animated. The film was so moving that even though you don't really know Aslan you feel like crying with Susan and Lucy when Aslan dies and you find yourself holding your breath during the battle and cheering when the war is over. The final summary: If you were debating whether or not to see this movie, DEFINITELY see this movie.
