← All reviews of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005)

Review by Aravis

4.6 / 5

The movie lived up to my expectations in so many ways! They payed attention to every little detail from the bug on the windowsill in the wardrobe room to the green ribbon around the turkish delight. Throughout the movie the stamina kept a fast pace, and the music was unique and inspiring. All of the kids did incredibly well, and Aslan was fantastic! I have now seen the movie twice and enjoy it more and more each time I see it. The christian theology behind Narnia was well preserved so that those who are looking for it will find it and those who object to it wont. I think C.S Lewis would be proud of the way they portray his magical realm of Narnia. This movie can be viewed and enjoyed by young and old and appreciated by all.
