Review by Hooftrotter

5.0 / 5

For the movie of Chronicles of Narnia, I was so blown out of my mind. I had watched it with one of my friends, and the whole time, we were on edge, and I had almost fell asleep under Tumnus' music. The stone table scene where Aslan sacrificed himself for edmund was greatly done, in expression of face on creatures. The battle was greatly done, and I loved it when Aslan finished off the White Witch, the final moment when they are looking each other in the eyes, and then Aslan strikes.
The visual effects were stunning, and they did a great job on sound (Aslan's roar rumbled the whole theater), and also on creating the centaurs and fauns, which would be hard to get human actors on animal bodies.
The music? I, myself, am a music player myself, and I take music seriously. The music on this movie was so beautiful and detailed that I swore I would get that soundtrack!
The acting was great. The tone in the animal actors matching the animal's mood was right on cue. The actor who had done the White Witch did a great job on being "kind" to Edmund at the beginning, but turning against him like she had never seen him before.
So, I do believe The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe, is the best movie I have ever seen, and I am looking foward to any other Narnia movie releases with hard-core eagerness.
