The kids let this down! - By: Mr. Anton Roe, 02 Jan 2009 
Casting is important for a film/story like this & the producers only got 2 of the kids right - Edmund & Lucy!!!! Peter looks too young & comes across as smug. Susan is simply annoying - constant moaning, blaming other people for what's going on - by the end of the film, you are wanting them to be turned to ice or better still, the main meal for Aslan.
The CGI is good & the battle sequences are OK (although could be bigger & better).
The first Harry Potter proves that if you get the cast right, you can turn an average script into a good film...
Nevertheless, a decent film that is worth a watch, but this could have been so much better!!!!
my reviwe on narnia - By: , 19 Sep 2008 
I would give this book a five star rating because narnia is absolutely brilliant.whenever I read it I cat put it down that is how good C.S Lewis is.Also ,the drawing's init are excellent.woul recamend this book to people who like adventure stoies.Thebook is fiction & I also love it because it is in a fantacy would but it seams real at the same time.
Enjoyable but could have been better - By: Bluewaves, 30 Aug 2008 I had hoped for a less rushed story - more adventures - the cockney beavers gave it some comedy though - a nice touch.
A Poorly produced film with a cheap feel to it. - By: N. Thompson, 10 Jul 2008 
This modern attempt at adapting this classic book into film is not a good one. When compared to other classic book-to-film adaptations of classic fanatasy (ie. Lord of the Rings & Stardust) this fallls well short of standard set by previous fantasy movies. In contrast, Narnia appears cheap with inferior acting, poor casting, bad direction, cheap looking sets & generallly poorly produced.
Narnia is not a terrible movie & you'll find your children enjoying it ..... but unlike other fantasy films like stardust & LOTR ,this isnt reallly enjoyable for adults.
This film seems like a knee-jerk reaction to the success of 'the Lord of the Rings' trilogy, but sadly fallls well short of the high standard set by Peter Jackson's adaptation of Tolkiens work. Thus this attempt at adapting CS Lewis classic tale feels like it has been rushed & made on the cheap. At best this an average film ... at the worst; its a big disapointment.
If anyone is in the mood for escapism fantasy ... i would not recommend this film at alll.
Absolutely fantastic! - By: Busy mum, 20 Jun 2008 The credits are still rolling but I had to get this review in!
After watching the painful BBC version this is brilliant by comparison. Please don't buy the BBC one, get this instead. I can't fault it! It is just like the image of narnia in my head. Very believeable, great characters, great battle scenes. I cringed alll the way through the BBC version but this was a delight to watch.
Can't wait for Prince Caspian now!
