Review by Caity-cat

4.7 / 5

I have read the Narnia series several times and I absolutely love them. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is my favorite of the series. The director did a wonderful job staying true to the book. The music was beautiful and really good. They did a great job with the Talking Beast, although I could tell that the wolves were huskies when not animated, but when they talked they did a good job with how the lips moved. The actors all did a great job. The movie was better than the Harry Potter movies because they stayed close to the book. They better make the other movies because the first one was absolutely wonderful, the battle was the best. It was suspenseful and really got your heart pumping, I felt like I was in the battle! I recommend this movie to any fantasy lovers and action lovers. The Narnia movie was absolutely wonderful and the best movie I have seen this year, I can't wait to see it again.
