Review by Ace

5.0 / 5

I thought the movie was fantastic, marvelous, and any other big complementary adjectives that the human mind could fathem for this awe-inspiring film. I went to see it December 9 the first day it came out with my other friend who worships the books as I do and I went with my mom who has never read any of the books. It was amazing I would only change a small amount of elements in the movie my friend and I both agree that the White Which should have been a little more beautiful almost enchanting-looking, instead she had a whashed out look, but I think Tilda Swinton should've still played Jadis. But, these changes I think should've been made did not in any way affect my deep love for this movie. On another note I would like to say what makes me extremely upset is when people say that The Lord of the Rings series is better than the Chronicles of Narnia I mean people how can you compare two things that are not alike Lord of the Rings is more for adults and The Chronicles of Narnia is more for kids. This comparison of the two is impossible because like I said they are completely different it's like comparing a PEZ despenser to mini blinds!!! They do NOT compare.
