Review by Morgan the Traveler

By Morgan the Traveler · December 18, 2005 · United States Minor spoilers

4.7 / 5

The movie was WAAAAAY beyond amazing! It was true to the book, and I was really amazed at how you could connect with the characters. I especially enjoyed seeing Mr. Tumnus come to life. 🙂
The CG characters and special effects blew me away. They were extremely well done, to the point of which I would recomend seeing the movie even if you don't like the story.I can't wait to see the other books *hopefully* come out on film.
One hope I have for Narnia is that the true Christian message is clear to those who have and haven't read the book.

*Plus I can't wait to see it kick some Harry Potter butt...LOL*
