The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is an adaption of C.S. Lewis' novel The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. The film is set in World War II. During the German raids of London, four children (Peter, Susan, Edmund and Luce Pevensie) are sent into the countryside to Professor Kirke, to be taken care of during the Blitz. While there, they discover a magical wardrobe that transports them into another world - the world of Narnia! It is an enchanted word with fauns, dwarfs, talking beasts, and the like. However, it is held under the evil spell of Queen Jadis, otherwise known as the White Witch, who as put Narnia under an eternal winter - with no Christmas! The four children must team up with the great lion Aslan to defeat the Witch and restore peace to Narnia. The film is brilliantly executed with a good plot that flows smoothly and excellent actors - and voice actors. Liam Neeson provides a fantastic voice for Aslan, while Tilda Swinton plays the White Witch equally well. The actors for the four children - and all the other characters - do their jobs very well. The films special effects are brilliant and add quite a bit to the movie. The film is quite enjoyable to watch, and easily beats most - if not all - other fantasy movies I have seen. One of my favourite movies.

All ages will love this. My fave character was Lucy. Aslan and Evil Queen second. No one questions evil queens commands. It has drama, action, suspense, great music, loyalty, love, betrayal, forgiveness, fun, scenery, sacrifice, fantasy, deep truths. Amazing story so well told its a must to see. Magical and wondrous. I'm 58 and would recommend to everyone. I hate spoilers myself so I won't give u any details. watch it. Enjoy

We watched this movie in family, two adults, one 12 years old boy and one 9 years old girl. Everybody liked the movie, especially the younger one. She liked very much Mr. Timnus and the animals (the beavers, "at the same time very cute and very serious !"). The boy thought the movie was good overall but was weak on some aspects, like the stone table resurrection. The adults enjoyed the visuals which were very beautiful and also appreciated the casting (Tilda Swinton is perfect as the which !) and the costumes. Overall an enjoyable family movie with some minor flaws.

Narnia is a book a series that I admittedly have not read, not a single one, but I have seen the film adaptations of those best selling books. This first installment is the best of all of them in my humble opinion. First of all, let's start with the sets. The film's sets are so on point for the time period this is set in, its very historically accurate and they all have great visual attraction to them. The Narnia scenery is beautiful, breathtaking views of snowy mountains, then of all a sudden, the season suddenly turns to a wonderful spring day, complete with trickling rivers, budding flowers, and a huge battlefield, which is where the big final battle takes place. The actors really handle their characters very well, all the teens are great actors/actresses and they all show great potential, especially Peter. Tilda Swinton is absolutely incredible as the White Queen, there couldn't have been a better choice to play the wicked antagonistic role. Tilda brings a certain cold, distant, and effortlessly evil presence to the role, which works very well. The writing is very good, it adds a good bit of character depth, which is pretty rare with movies starring teenagers. The effects, makeup (Oscar nomination), and the action sequences are all so intricate and well done. Especially the makeup, that is a very important factor for some characters in here. I suggest kids, teens and adults all see this if you haven't already had the pleasure. 9/10.
