Review by Sir Reepicheep/Katie

4.5 / 5

I have been in love with Narnia since my Aunt gave me all seven of the books when I was nine.
So, needless to say I bouncing around with excitement when I found out LLW was being made into a movie ( it drove my family insane ).

Over all I think the film makers did a good job of capturing C.S. Lewis' vision of Narnia. I like the choice of actors for the various roles, particularly Tilda Swinton as The White Witch.
My favorite scene in the entire movie though, is when Mr. Tumnus. I did thoroughly enjoy the movie and am very much looking forward to seeing the rest of the movies.
Sincerely,
Sir Reepicheep a.k.a. Katie
