3.5 out of 5 stars

Director: Andrew Adamson
Starring: Georgie Henley, Skander Keynes, William Moseley, Anna Popplewell

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe was an over-all good movie. It was a movie that you would make a note to watch if it was on t.v. It was a movie that you might rent every two years. It was not the movie that so many fans were expecting. It must be remembered, however, that Disney made it, not Peter Jackson.

Personally, I thought they could have easily kicked the rating up from PG to PG-13, and made the battle scene a lot more intense. But that would scare a lot of the younger viewers away, and we wouldn’t want to do that.

The acting was fairly good; the casting was exceptional. The story line pretty much stuck to the book written by C.S. Lewis. There isn’t much more to say about it…

The Bottom Line: Go see it in theaters, because it is worth the money. But for the same price as a movie ticket you could buy the book, and the book would be a much better buy. The movie lacks C.S. Lewis’s humor and sly wit, and that is a great lack indeed.
