Review by Aslanisa

4.7 / 5

Be carefull: spoilers ahead!

The biggest flaw I found in the movie was that it finished so early. LOL. I mean, I was really enjoying it the whole time. I've seen it 12 times and every time I LOVED it. This is like my alltime favourite movie.

My favourite scene was the Great Battle, which was done SO WELL! I mean, there was no blood, but that's fine. There was heaps of stuff in the battle they didn't have in LOTR, and actually I'm quite happy with the idea there was no blood.

The Stone Table Scene was cool to, seen as it was a major scene. It got me crying, but that was because I'd taken a very big sip of Cola. No, seriously... it was so well acted and so SAD!

My least favourite bit was the bit with Lucy and Tumnus in teh beginning, but that might be because it was just dialogue and not much action. (That's what I think, so I mean no offence whatsoever for the people who liked it!)

My favourite actress was Tilda Swinton. She was just SO COOL!!!! She played the White Witch perfectly, really scary. In the BBC version the Witch keeps yelling and all, and she looks a bit like a clown (again, no offence meant), but this Witch was sooo good. She looked evil and really sent shivers down my spine. At the Stone Table she was so cruel with her little speech and also where she stroked Aslan, so sad. But the acting was BRILLIANT.

My favourite actor was William Moseley, but Skandar Keynes rocked as well. They both went from these not so daring boys to these heroes. I just loved Williams line at the end "When will you do as you're told" I really LOVED it.

So my revieuw is VERY VERY positive. This film rocked, and I can't wait to get the DVD. And I'll be on the edge of my chair in December 2007, because Prince Caspian will hit the cinemars. I can't wait!
