Review by Jessica Soukup

4.0 / 5

I have always wanted to see this movie come out. But when I heard it really was coming out in theaters in December, I wasn't really sure if I wanted to go. I mean, it's the Chronicles of Narnia! If they blew it, I was in for a real disappointment. I finally went to see the movie though, and I loved it!(Great sigh of relief!) I enjoyed it, even though there were a few of the mythical characters I was disappointed with. But all-in-all, the good points of this movie make it a masterpiece!
