Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe
A Narnia Review
I remember the first time I read something of C.S. Lewis. It was Screwtape Letters, and I recall being so amused by his writing style, so when I read The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe, I thought it was fun and interesting, but nothing that stayed with me as I grew older. Frankly, all I remembered at the getgo was that the Professor's house had a lot of rooms. lol
So imagine my surprise when I came out of it enjoying the movie. The tone of the film was a lot more emotional than I expected, showing a great emphasis to family and what it means being a part of one.
Also, I noticed that a lot of the comedic subtleties in the film wasn't as well executed had it been done by more seasoned young actors, but thankfully, it didn't come out flat. So no big loss there.
The musical scoring in the film is absolutely fantastic. Thoroughly beautiful.
Oh, those beavers. Loved them.
The CGI work on the animals were amazing beyond belief.
Cinematography-wise, I was blown away.
Lastly, I really wish I could get that Wardrobe Cabinet at Wicks or E-Bay or something. I'd love to just open one and find myself in the Bahamas during these cold winters.
