Review by LCR

4.9 / 5

First off, I'd like to say that the similarity to the book was great. For instance, the prophecy of the four thrones at Cair Paravel was just like it was in the book--an important prophecy--that doesn't rhyme. If C.S. Lewis would have known that his children's book has become a worldwide motion picture for Narnia fans of all ages, no doubt he would be proud. Also, the score was awesome--up there in my top three: Star Wars (3rd), The Lord of the Rings, (2nd), and of course, Narnia. My family and I really enjoyed it--we went to see it six times. We bought it and watched it two days in a row, loving it, every time noticing different things about this great movie. So, just for me, don't ask how, don't ask why, just tell somebody about this great and wonderful movie that will be loved for generations to come.
