not horrible nor great

Dreadfully Boring

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

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

All ages will love this. My fave character was Lucy. Aslan and Evil Queen second. No one questions evil queens commands. It has drama, action, suspense, great music, loyalty, love, betrayal, forgiveness, fun, scenery, sacrifice, fantasy, deep truths. Amazing story so well told its a must to see. Magical and wondrous. I'm 58 and would recommend to everyone. I hate spoilers myself so I won't give u any details. watch it. Enjoy

As a 35-year-old I obviously remember the old BBC NARNIA SAGA. Good old cheap + kitsch yet charming and classy kids' TV it was, and particularly impressive considering the (then) innovative use of blue screen, and in a low-budget production!Can't say I think quite so much of this mind ! The child actors are all smug and trendy - trust me, you'll literally lose count of how many times 'LIKE' is used in their DVD commentary; it's every other word ! The effects are over-digital, plastic + generally fake, the acting over-sentimental and unconvincing, and the reassuring simplicity of the BBC version is replaced with a grandoise epic extravagance that defeats the objective of this being a mere children's fantasy novel. OK, so the score was quite beautiful - if a bit excessive for a kids' fantasy, thus reflecting the OTT style of the film in general - but why the trendy pop songs during the end credits? Overall, this is just plastic millennial crap ! It would at least have SOME merit if they'd featured an actor from the BBC version; think Jenny Agutter's roles in the 1970 + 2000 versions of The Railway Children.

I remember seeing this movie over ten years ago in the cinema and even back then I thought it was a great movie. Even though it's not as good as the book (which has always remained a classic in children's literature), I consider this film to be The Lord of the Rings for kids and like the Lord of the Rings, it was filmed in New Zealand as well and some aspects reminded me of the Lord of the Rings trilogy like the effects or the action scenes or the fact that it all took place in a fantasy world. I enjoyed all the actors that played the Pevensie children and I loved Liam Neeson as the voice of Aslan. I'm very glad that I read the book before I saw the film. I also enjoyed the two other sequels. But I think the Narnia movie trilogy is kind of underrated. While it's nowhere near as good The Lord of the Rings trilogy, they deserve more credit.

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.
