- Directed by Andrew Adamson
- Starring Tilda Swinton, James McAvoy, Jim Broadbent, Anna Popplewell, Georgie Henley, William Moseley, Skandar Keynes
- Based on a classic novel by C.S. Lewis, this fun, warm, and bloodless film is definitely for children. Teenagers, mostly Harry Potter fans, may find it boring, too sweet and overlong. The most admired is the special effects and the pretty little Lucy, played by Georgie Henly.
Since I retired from work in January 2005, watching movies in the cinema has been one of my favourite time-killers. This blog contains brief information and some comments of the movies I have seen.

Recent years have seen the emergence of several successful Fantasy films. If Lord of the Rings is like a war epic, and Harry Potter is a teenage highschool parody, then Narnia is probably a Saturday morning cartoon special.
As such, this film is a straight-forward flick designed to make kids gasp at the special effects, hate war, adore cute animals (and hate the scary looking ones. Take that, Shrek!), and stop fighting with their sibilings. Oh, throw in some dual-swords fightings too. Those are always a hit nowadays. Anybody with any sort of movie experiences will be able to predict everything in the movie 15 minutes in. Apart from Lucy, no characters are with any sort of charms or depths. Tolkien and Rowling can yawn better stuff than this.
Nice idea with this site its better than most of the rubbish I come across.
