4.3 / 5

I was amazed to see how one of my favorite books turned into such a fantastic movie. The movie really made me feel like I really was in Narnia. Everything was great - directing, special effects, and the actors are AMAZING. I really felt the power of Narnia when I saw the movie. It was magnificent!
