Review by Aaron

4.7 / 5

I thought the film was really faithful to the book. The only scene that does not appear in the film is when the White Witch comes across a group of animals having christmas dinner and turns them all to stone. Tilda Swinton was by far the best actress in the film especially her performance on the stone table. The children were okay but I thought the older two were to old for the part. I can`t wait for the next film.
