Review by Becky

4.2 / 5

This movie was a wonderful example of how a family movie can be good without putting a lot of violence or cursing into it. The acting was incredible especially since not all of the kids had had a lot of experience. Even if I don't like the character of Lucy, Georgie Henley did a fantastic job of portraying a courageous 8 year old in a strange land.
The music was very inspirational, it made you feel different emotions it made me want to cry or laugh or hate.
The Battle Scene was amazing! the special effects used were wonderful and i couldn't tell that it was just some computer tricks!
