Review by Stephanie

4.8 / 5

I absolutly loved this movie. Being a huge fan of the books, I wasen't sure if the movie would work. Also knowing almost all there is to know about C.S.Lewis. But the movie pleasantly surprised me. Even my father raved about it for weeks.
Some very dear parts (mostly just lines) were not in the movie, and that was a bit dissapointing, but that is to be expected. I simply enjoy watching that movie, and it is simple pleasures that mean the most to people. I cant wait to see Prince Caspian!
