I have read all of the narnia books at least once and the lion the witch and the wardrobe three times, so I had very high expectations for this movie. I had my doughts that the movie could ever live up to my hopes but it did and more so. The special effects were awe inspiring, especially the centaurs. There were only a few minor dissapointments such as the acting on behalf of the White Witch and Edmund. The movie over all stays true to the book way more than Harry Potter, which they left major scenes out of and rushed way to much. This has quickly became my favorite movie, hands down. I highly recomend it to anyone.
