Review by ~Narnia Fan~

5.0 / 5

The Chronicles of Narnia was brillant there are no words to describe how well it was! All 4 Pevensies was great, William Moseley (Peter) was perfect for the part as Peter Pevensie, the battle was one of his better scenes, I love how he can get his emotions acrossed a lot of actors have a hard time but to William it just seems so natural! Anna Popplewell (Susan) was also incredible... she had the mothering touch quite down pat! Skandar Keynes (Edmund) was a PERFECT Edmund, I don't think there could be a better actor for that part, I know it had to be hard to play the least favorite Pevensie! And Gerogie Henley (Lucy) how addorble she is, her acting was FANTASTIC, I believe my favorite line of hers is when she tells Mr. Tumnus to shake her hand and he ask her why and she say back "I don't know" I just love the expression across her face :>)Which brings me to my next actor I would like to compliment... James McAvoy he was great as Mr. Tumnus but when I would read the book The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe I always imagined Mr. Tumnus being a lot older, but still James was great! Tilda Swinton did great for the White Witch she had the beauty, she was also very fierce and stong looking! The resurrection of Aslan was fantastic also, I loved the light behind him and how he shook his mane, he did NOT look computer generated at all! None of the creatures did! I could never tell what was real and what wasn't! I also liked the very begining how it set up why the Pevensies was leaving London in the first place.
I hope this made since!
I am looking forward to the next 6 book to be made into movies!
Thank you! ~Narnia Fan~
