Review by tRuthe

3.9 / 5

At first, I was unsure if Narnia was going to be a good movie. I was afraid it might ruin the book, but was I wrong! This movie beats The Lord of the Rings because I can watch it with my younger sister, and not be afraid that she'll see something that'll give her nightmares. The musical score is stunning, and the soundtrack is a must-have. William Mosely is a talented young actor, and portrays Peter's role so vividly. He's definately my favorite character in the film, though Lucy comes in close.
