Review by Queen Swanwhite

4.7 / 5

I was always a big fan of Narnia. I watched the BBC versions for years. I've seen the new movie 3 times already and I thouroughly enjoyed it. The acting was brilliant. They all acted the way their character was meant to be. The battle was astounding! The music in the backround suited it to a T.
Andrew Adamson did an extremely good job. The only thing that let it down(for me personally) was Mr Beaver. His lines. He called Aslan "The top geeser" and the badger was "his best mate." That's the way some people talk in our world! Not Narnia! But I did enjoy the humour. Mrs Beaver was very funny. Everyone laughed in the cinema when she talked about her fur.

I loved this movie and I'm sure to see it again!
