Dreams… Fantasies… and Fairy Tales

Narnia_movie_posterTransport yourself into a land of dreams, where fairies and centaurs roam, where trees whisper in the wind and a lion holds true wisdom. It’s easy, just watch this film. 

Honestly, my expectations for this film was pretty low. Considering the mix reviews I’ve been getting, I try not to get my hopes up. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe has always been one of my favourite stories but due to the fact that its so easy to screw up a movie based on a book, I was skeptical. After watching it I was pleasantly surprised. True, it’s not perfect: the acting was Ok, characters needed development hence the length of the film should have been extended, but it manages to stir the imagination. The CGI and voice acting was pretty good. I like Liam Neeson as Aslan although I felt that he should’ve gotten more lines! (his voice is so regal). But all in all I liked this movie, makes you want to go into your wardrobe and see if there’s a mystical land if you go through it :)

I think it’s a pity that some people, going into adulthood, tend to forget how
to dream, their imagination slowly diminishes into a mundane reality
check-list that just makes them bitter and utterly depressing. It’s a
real pity that nowadays people tend to grow up too fast and forget that
there is indeed magic in this world…

Thats a fairly diplomatic review… hopefully they don’t screw up the next few by repeating the same mistakes. While I found the casting of the four children a little… “off”, I have no complaints with the CGI and voice acting. Aslan was definitely cool =). Till the next Narnia movie then!
