Movie Review: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
Tuesday, December 27, 2005
I saw The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe last night. Based on the first of C.S. Lewis's series of seven children's novels, this is the most recent screen adaptation and probably will be the most successful.
The movie itself relies heavily on special effects to convey the magic of Narnia. Fortunately, the special effects are VERY good. The acting is all around well-done, though the presentation of the movie is designed to evoke as much emotion as possible. Like the novel, the movie can be a little preachy and, at times, inelegant in its simile.
Final word on "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe": See it, but not necessarily in the theater.
