Review by Narnian from NYC

4.6 / 5

I thought the movie was great! They did leave out some scenes that were on the official trailer, but I was satisfied with the finishing product. I liked how Will, Anna, Skandar and Georgie acted the children's emotions. I couldn't believe the fact that some of them had no prior acting experience. I also like how Liam Neeson portrayed Aslan's voice. It sounded so majestic, so real. So much like a real talking lion! To sum it all up, it was a great movie and it's good for the whole family and fans of the book series. Two thumbs up!
