invisibleunicornninja Characters - The child actors are pretty bad. The characters are poorly written, and most of them are really dumb. Plot - This story could have been entertaining, but its way too long and boring. The story focuses on everything that is dumb and boring and glosses over any elements that could've been entertaining. Sights and Sounds - This movie had no continuity department. Some of the effects are good, but the overall look of this movie is pretty bad. I thought that this movie was made years before the actual date due to the poor quality. Overall, this movie is very boring and I wouldn't recommend it.

aguyev 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.

vohnyamaguchi It was great to see an award winning book turned into a solid children's fantasy film. Especially to kick off the first movie in the Narnia franchise. I never would have guessed the movie was from 2005 considering that the special effects were so exceptional. The casting I believe was just as good. Tilda Swinton made a great White Witch and Liam Neeson nailed his role as Aslan capturing the selfless beast he was meant to be. Though the movie was fairly long, certain scenes did move rather quickly. Select portions of the story line passed by too quickly in the film like the ending fight scene between the White Witch's army and that of Aslan's. Also, more time could have been put into the training of Peter becoming a warrior instead of him hardly knowing how to use a sword against a wolf in one scene and being able to slay many of the witch's experienced army himself the next. All in all, it was still a great movie that I enjoyed very much and I'm looking forward to seeing the latest expansion in the franchise, The Silver Chair.

colm-hearne365 I remember seeing this movie over ten years ago in the cinema and even back then I thought it was a great movie. Even though it's not as good as the book (which has always remained a classic in children's literature), I consider this film to be The Lord of the Rings for kids and like the Lord of the Rings, it was filmed in New Zealand as well and some aspects reminded me of the Lord of the Rings trilogy like the effects or the action scenes or the fact that it all took place in a fantasy world. I enjoyed all the actors that played the Pevensie children and I loved Liam Neeson as the voice of Aslan. I'm very glad that I read the book before I saw the film. I also enjoyed the two other sequels. But I think the Narnia movie trilogy is kind of underrated. While it's nowhere near as good The Lord of the Rings trilogy, they deserve more credit.
