Review by Rachel

4.7 / 5

One word: Magnificent! I was hooked right from the beginning! Georgie (Lucy) made a great Lucy,it a performance straight from the book! And for those of you that think Lucy is an idiot,you really haven't been attention to the movie and you seriously don't have an eye for good acting.Skandar (Edmund) blew me away.He made a great Edmund and it changed me view point on the character immenseley.Anna (Susan) made a terrific Susan.She was perfect for the character,but she could have done it just a teensy itty bit better (just a teensy bit,not a lot).She's a wonderful actress and I'm sure she'll blow me away in Prince Caspian.William (Peter) was completely the perfect git for the role of Peter.It was mind blowing how much he fit into the role.James (Tumnus) PERFECT Mr. Tumnus! Even without his faun makeup,you can tell he is a Mr. Tumnus.Tilda (The White Witch),what can I say about Tilda....she's brilliant and was a spitting image of the White Witch.
The Stone Table scene was therefore the most powerful scene in the movie.It had me crying buckets,even though I knew what was going to happen.But,my favorite scene was when Lucy met Mr. Tumnus,it was priceless!
