Review by Jenn

4.8 / 5

The Chronicles of Narnia is awesome! The actors were superb and it's amazing knowing that it was Georgie, Skandar, and William's first time on screen! It is nice knowing that someone is looking out for C.S. Lewis's wishes, and I love the way he tied the bible into his books with Jesus and Aslan both dying for us- Sinners that we are. I was so excited when I heard that this movie was coming out because I have read those books ever since I was able to read. The music is awesome! Every time I listen to it,(especially the battle score) I run to my brother's room and grab his sword. It's amazing that I haven't destroyed the living room by now! My little cousin saw the movie with me and loved it so much that she named her new baby doll she got for Christmas Lucy. When it came time for her brthday, we gave her a Narnia party. She was so excited. So, to sum this up- The costumes, the actors, the music, the director, the set, the special effects, and everything else all deserve Oscars on March 5th.
