Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Torrin-McFinn77 I had grown up with the Narnia books and while I enjoyed all of them, the one that stayed with me the most was The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. It introduced us to a world inspired by Greek mythology and the Christian Bible. I admit that if you're not Christian, this movie isn't for you, but if you grew up with the books seeing this movie may be on your to-do list. I did not get to see it in theaters, but I got to watch it that spring around Easter. Not only do we get lions, centaurs, griffins, fauns, and other critters but we get four siblings who stay together and look out for each other. Now that's family!

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.

A R I just re-watched this movie. I loved it when I was a kid and I love it now. It is a wonderful movie to watch, especially around Christmas time. The movie is a bit cheesy at times, but you have to remember that this movie is targeted at kids, so I don't hold that against it. The music is fantastic as well. I bought the sound track because I enjoyed it so thoroughly. I enjoyed reading the books when I was younger and seeing the books come to life in a well done manner is great. I look forward to sharing this with my kids one day. Also, it helps that Liam Neeson is in this film because I generally enjoy his movies. Finally, who doesn't love a movie that has talking animals?

jacklyn_lo This movie is about a parallel world called Narnia, its inhabitants and human kids who have found a portal to this land. In accordance with New Age "gurus", there are 7 parallel worlds around our Earth, each of them full of various creatures. Those creatures have different appearances such as, goblins, boggarts, etc., but also other dissimilar capabilities from our world. For example, animals - inhabitants in Narnia are able to talk, other creatures, like the witch, are capable of transforming a living person into a frozen statue.Normally, the inhabitants in the parallel worlds do not interact with each other, except in specific circumstances.The entry happens through certain portals on Earth. One of the most famous portals on Earth is Bermuda Triangle. In the Chronicles of Narnia, the portal is the wardrobe. In accordance to prophecy, Narnia will be freed from the power of the White Witch by the hand of a human. Prophecy as a spiritual awakening element is a very mysterious concept, which normally charms or/and scares people. From a spiritual point of view, prophecy is a destiny (= scenario), written for a land, person or even a civilization. Some predictions, as in this movie, give a hope and some induce a fear because humankind doesn't know how to deal with that. One more exiting spiritual element in the story is time. Time in the parallel world runs in a different way to our world. Kids are returning back home as the same age they had when they started their journey to Narnia.This positive movie with several spiritual-awakening elements is recommended for the whole family.
