Review by Lily

4.6 / 5

The movie THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE was a great success!First of all, the acting was exceptionally good.The children were amazing! I could really understand how discouraged Peter was at losing his brother. We see this in the scene where Aslan says "You've brought them [the Pevensie family] this far,"and Peter responds sorrowfully "Not all of them." Susan was smart, but she always seemed to change from scene to scene.For example, she would be rather serious one minute and then quite joyful the next.In another words, she never seemed to carry her emotions with her.[Sometimes this was necessary and sometimes it wasn't]. Edmund was one of my
favorites.He did seem a little gullable with the White Witch.I mean who would want to sit in someone's sleigh if the same person almost just had you killed?But I think he made-up for that when he said to Peter "Aslan thought you could do it....and I do to." Lucy was FANTASTIC!!!!
She was very kind and understood her family.[And their faults]!

The White Witch was VERY evil, but at some points she just didn't seem right. Aslan was
...WOW!That's just about all I can say.He looked and sounded like the real thing.

The sceneary was great and so was the music, although at the beginning I couldn't hear because it was so loud.

I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
