Review by Katherine Vidmer

4.9 / 5

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe is officially my and my friends' favorite film EVER! I will go as far as saying that it is in my opinion better than the book. The whole storyline was fantastic, the acting was far better than I expected, especially from Georgie Henley, the directing is brilliant and Aslan looks like a real lion!
