Review by Aslans Friend

5.0 / 5

Hello my fellow Narnians! All I can say is that this movie is one that should not be missed at ANY cost! It is a must see.Its so pleasant to be able to see a movie with such a beautiful,subtle message of love.Also the fact that there is no blood,guts,and gore in its presentation on the screen. The music tracks in it have got to be the most absolutely beautiful Ive heard ever!The music fits the movie scenes perfectly.All the actors/actresses commenced a most wonderful job of bringing out the trueness of each character.The children were wonderful and played there parts as if they had actually "experienced" the land of Narnia.Georgie Henley,(Lucy),is such a cute little actress,and from this movie debut,she has many years ahead of her in the movie world! I have the entire C.S.Lewis book series and never grow tired of them.I think I cried at the beauty of the movie as a whole,but the tears for me really flowed upon the coronation at Castle Cair Paravel.The intense meaning of that scene that showed a great accomplishment had been completed,and the music were so moving.I now own the DVD,music CD,video game.Im even looking to purchase some items displayed in the movie.I have never in all my 45 years seen and experienced a movie that moved me so much as this one has!I still get tears when I watch my DVD,or listen to my CD!If I could rate this movie on a scale of 1 to 10,it would rate 500 with me!!This is most certainly a once in a lifetime movie! Its the type that can NEVER be improved on or be done as a sequel. My highest congratulations to everyone involved in the making of this absolutely beautiful,moving,meaningful movie.There needs to be more movies such as this shown these days. Its the correct movie for the desparate times we live in today!And just one more thing to add: I wish to thank all involved in this fine production for the fact there is not even 1 single nasty or profane word or language in this movie. This movie must be seen by all,if you miss it,you are missing something as beautiful as the words of the bible itself.
