← All reviews of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005)

Review by Cassie

4.7 / 5

A magical story written by C.S. Lewis and reworked into a movie, "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe", is two thumbs up and off the charts, better then "Harry Potter". At any age this magical fairy tale will take you back to childhood. William Moseley was able to reel in some teenage girls with his good looks and charm and Georgie Henley was able to catch your eye with her wonderment and excitment. The four children, Susan, played by Anna Popplewell, Edmund, played by Skandar Keynes, Peter, played by William Moseley, and Lucy, played by Georgie Henley, worked great together like real brothers and sisters. The special effects were awesome considering the animals looked no less real then the people. As these children wander throught the world of Narnia experiencing pain, woe, love, and excitement they become closer and they find that they are right back where they satarted in the beginning of the movie. Their mother had sent them away from a war and now they're fighting in a war for Narnia, so they can claim their rightful thrones at Cair Paravel and free the land of Narnia from the evil White Witch. If you like Harry Potter then you'll love The Chronicles of Narnia. Experience the joy and excitement yourself by watching "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe". Also lookout for the new upcoming Chronicles of Narnia movie called "The chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian". It will be coming out in 2008 so keep your ears opened to hear the roar of Aslan to return.
