Review by Sam

4.6 / 5

Absolutely OUTSTANDING!!!! I have been a huge fan of Narnia since my teacher read it to me in year 1. I have even made a play of Prince Caspian. This movie made the land of Narnia even more real for me. I can't wait until Prince Caspian and all the others come out. No one's made a movie of The Magican's Nephew, The Horse and his Boy and The Last Battle so it will be intersesting to see how they make them. I think even those who were turned off reading Narnia because of it's Old English style would still enjoy the movie because of it's Lord of the Rings-ish style.
