From the very beginning of The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe I knew I was going to love it. I am one for fantasy movies, packed with suspense and this one was full to bursting with the stuff. The characters were perfectly portrayed, the Pevensies performance was most applaudable especially Henleys and Moseleys. Tilda Swintons casting as the White Witch was one of the best choices director Adam Adamson made. Swinton mastered the White Witches threateningly icy composure, captivating many audiences around the globe. Aslan has been brought to life using meticulously detailed digital effects worthy of even the great lion himself. Finally, my favourite dear Mr Tumnus and no other actor could've depicted the faun better than James McAvoy. A helpless little faun threatened into helping The White Witch, from the first moment McAvoy came onto the screen I immediately warmed to him.

Another thing that made this movie so enthralling was its costumes, especially the armour that both armies wore at the battle at The Fords of Beruna. Every carving in their weapons or shields were done with pin-point precision and no chain mail had even one link missing. The costumes were fantastic and made the characters all the more realistic. However, the battle was somewhat lacking in the make-up area. It is my opinion that the amount of dirt and sweat on the warriors faces could've been in greater quantity to make that scene more practical.

The props were great, the Witches ice palace in particular. It seemed to shadow nearly all of Narnia and gave one a horrible realization of what the Pevensies are up against. The scenery was spetacular, from the sandy beaches of Cair Paravel to the snow covered trees of the Northern Woods. The special effects again were amazing, I could've sworn those centaurs were real!

But above all the thing i enjoyed most about this movie was the screenplay. The storyline followed C.S Lewises book perfectly, with an additional scene at the beginning that I adored.

Andrew Adamson has succeeded in making something as rare as hens teeth, he has produced a movie that is very near(if not) perfect. All in all The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe is a great movie that is suitable for all age group. I can barely wait for the sequel, Prince Caspian.
