Review by Borter27

4.3 / 5

i have never seen a move closer to the book then this one. it was my all time favorite and i couldn't get over the music selection for particualar scences which put the mood how it should have been. the acting was really great and made the movie a great work of art that it is now. I look forward to seeing Prince Caspian, and The Voyage of the Dawn treader that is coming out soon. i give a salute to Director Adnrew Adamson who put it together (Although he did cut a few scences that i looked forward to seeing.)Skandar Keynes did a really great part in his role as well as Anna Popplewell, William Moseley, and Georgie Henley. the CG in this on is hard to spot, and looks really great the sets that were used made it look realisitic thus adding to the movie. i really look forward to seeing the acting in the next two movies and to buy them on DVD as soon as possible is an absolute must for anyone who thinks of this move how i do. thats about all i can type without putting in any movie spoilers so this is my time to end this. i appreciate everybody that took part in making this movie a huge success for all of our entertainment if you want to know who i am talking about just read the credits at the end of the movie and you will learn that you will appreciate all of them as much as i do.
