The Chronicles of Narnia
Internet Movie Data Base link.
Much better than I expected, The Chronicles of Narnia is a well made, atmospheric and entertaining movie. The kids put on a good performance, the special effects are not top-notch but do the job, and it manages to create tension and suspend disbelief.
I’m especially thankful that Disney didn’t mess with the original story and didn’t try to water it down by including silly, cuddly characters. Even Peter Jackson was unable to resist the temptation to do so in The Lord of the Rings.
The beaver in chain-mail alone is worth the price of admission. Recommended.
Rating: Excellent.
