Review by ~Haymac~

5.0 / 5

Wow, Narnia was awesome I could tell by the previews that it would be great! The children did fantastic! William Moseley is incredibly handsome,lol, but I also thought his performance was great. I also think he has a great range of facial expressions, from determination (the battle), to scared witless (icy lake scene), to relief (after the killing of Maugrim as he's hugging Susan and Lucy, to anger (at Edmund right after all four step through the wardrobe). Anna Popplewell, I don't know about her she kinda lacked something but I don't know what, Skandar Keynes did great playing a little brat that your suppose to hate (at the beginning you really hate him and as the movie goes on you start to like him) and then adorable Lucy, Georgie Henley did great also! And Tilda Swinton had that evil look in her eyes but yet she also looked kind and friendly someone you could trust, which was great!
All I have to say is brilliant, can't wait for the other movie!
