Review by Rayne

4.8 / 5

This movie was great. It was exactly like the book, with the acceptionwith a few scenes added in and a few scenes taken out.

The actors were all perfect. The four kids acted really well, espiecially for kids who haven't really acted before. William Moseley was really good. He did such a good job acting as the oldest brother. Anna Popplewell did great as her role as Susan. She did really well acting so smart. Skandar Keynes was wonderful. He did awesome acting so devious and sly, but really sweet at the end. Georgie Henley was the best! She was so cute and she is such a great actress. Tilda Swinton was great as her role of the White Witch. She was casted really well.

The beginning is a little slow, but as soon as Lucy entered the wardrobe and entered Narnia, the whole story and adventure took off. The meeting of Lucy and Mr.Tumnus was so sweet. The scene with the White Witch and Edmund(at her castle) was really good. The battle at the end was great. Definitely my favourite part.

Over all, you'll love this movie. It is inevitable. It had so much adventure and warmth in it. Absolutely 10 out of 10.
