I really enjoyed this movie the first time I saw it when it was called the Lord of the Rings. I'm just kidding, but this movie had a very similar feel (and many of the creatures were quite similar). Overall, it was a decent movie and stayed faithful enough to its source material, at least from what I recall. The acting was solid considering the main characters were kids and Liam Neeson was great as the voice of Aslan the Lion. The CGI was a little weak, but that it is to be expected when compared to recent movies like King Kong. One of the best things about the movie was the scenery. The visuals were absolutely stunning to watch and the transformation from war-torn Europe at the beginning to the wintery Narnia was a great juxtaposition. I applaud the director for taking the chance to put on film such a classic and beloved novel. If you are a fan of the book, this is a must see and if you are a fan of epic movies, this one should be on your list. This was a good movie from a relatively unknown director and I look forward to more from him in the future.
