Review by knightsmithers

4.7 / 5

Perfect. I really dont have a single complaint about this movie. I have always loved the narnia books, and have always been dissapointed that there wasnt a recent and good movie of any of them. This is what ive been waiting for. The acting in FANTASTIC and the characters were casted perfectly. I think Georgie Henly's performance as Lucy was the hight point in the entire movie. Simply amazing. The movie stuck to the plotline of the book very well. There really wasnt a single seen that was left out. The only major difference between book and movie was the addition of a centaur general Oreius. However, this was a good adition as he is a fantastic character. The one thing that i thought wasnt quite perfect in the movie was that althought Liam Neeson played the voice of Aslan very well, the lion himself was a little less majestic than i hoped for. Other than that, the special effects were amazing.
