I have been a huge fan of the Chronicles since i was a mere child myself, and am VERY impressed with how accurately they have translated this wonderful story to a movie. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe surpasses all the Harry and LOTR movies put together, by mere acting and cinematography categories alone. The battle scene is simply breath-taking. The score is wonderful and Aslan and the talking beasts are animated beyond anything I have every seen. The humorous 'one liners' throughout the movie keep it funny, quick, and upbeat. I am amazed at the level of acting by the 4 young actors, and I look forward to seeing them progress throughout their careers. Simply described, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is the movie of the year, the decade, the millenium! I absolutely cannot wait for the next one!
