 Extremely enjoyable. June 10, 2008
Kevin P. Abbott (Minnesota USA)
I had never read anything about this series of Narnia, so at age 57 yrs, I found it very interesting, and appreciated that all the bloody gore was left out. Seems on TV there is too much of it, and with the Iraq war, I have had enough. This had plenty of excitement for kids, which Disney is famous for. I recently went to the theater to see Narnia(King Caspian) which I was somewhat disappointed how it started out, where the kids just suddenly found themselves in Narnia, but the remaining movie was very comparable. I have no regrets purchasing this DVD, for I enjoyed the course I took of Greek Mythology and Legend in college, so am sold on this movie.

It had been a very long time since I had seen the original and had heard much hype over this remake. I bought the movie on a whim and absolutely fell in love with it. This movie is for everyone that still has any bit of their child hood still inside.
Excellent rendition of story May 31, 2008

C.S.Lewis' classic series The Chronicles of Narnia has long awaited a decent movie rendition. This is a great start. Now to see if they follow thru with the remaining stories.
NOTE: To get the best value from these movies, you really should read them.

C.S. Lewis's "The Chronicles of Narnia" with its seven allegorical books is becoming the latest film franchise. This first movie based upon the second book in the series is filled with talking animals and mythical creatures like centaurs, satyrs, fauns, gryphons, dwarfs, a wicked albino witch, and four charming and innocent British school kids. The movie is entertaining, but it does not seem to resonate with any great significance or meaning despite Lewis's reputation as a Christian polemicist.
The four siblings who have been evacuated from the London blitz during War II are staying with a rich man in his country mansion. The youngest, a girl, travels to the snowy land of Narnia by entering a magic wardrobe. She meets a faun and the wicked witch. The most important creature in Narnia is Aslan, the lion.
The film is entertaining, well-cast and well-acted, has some great special effects as well as a few hokey ones, the voices of some famous stars, but there's no there there; it lacks the underpinning of a substantive reason for being.
William Mosely who plays the older brother is every teenage girl's heartthrob. It's a fun movie for kids as well as adults who'll get a kick out anthropomorphic animals and mythological creatures. Holds your interest.
