Review by Hayley

4.2 / 5

I have seen Narnia dozens of times, and I never get sick of it. Every time I watch it, I have a new favorite part. The acting is exceptional, especially from young Georgie Henley, though Peter was my favorite character. The extended edition is what I believe to be the better of the two. The score was astounding, Harry Gregson-Williams did a stupendous job of creating music to fit the movie. Narnia, books and movie alike, is timeless and I can't wait to see how Andrew Adamson creates my favorite country in the next movie installment.
