Review by aslan follower

4.9 / 5

This is the best book adaptation on film I have ever seen.The cast they selected was perfect,the creature design,costumes,and the locations were very well done.They did a wonderful job at staying true to the story and amplified it with the battle scenes,the thawing waterfall, and all the little details that made the story that more of a real world.They really did a great job at telling a story about the things we all face in life,betrayal,forgiveness,faith,sacrifice and being able to overcome challenges by coming together and accepting their own and each others gifts and talents.With all that been able to defeat evil and resurrect what is good.This is a film I watch many times and not grow tired of. I have really enjoyed watching all the actors
in this film.I can tell they all enjoyed making this film.They had played their characters very convincingly. I look forward to Prince Caspian, and Dawn Treader. Thank you all for making such a great film.I think it should have received more awards than it got.
