The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe Review

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe absolutely stunned me when I first watched it when I was younger, in a good way. I read the entire series prior to the movie and felt like it brought a much greater realization than you would expect from a movie. It lives up to the hype especially the fact that movies today are bashed consistently because avid readers believe the movie isn’t as “true” as the book. Most movies I’ve watched previously that are made after its book was released are full of terrible acting. In general, it brings negative reputation to the book itself. A brief summary of the storyline of the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is that a group of four children that bear the Pevensie name are evacuated from their homes because of the bombing in London, England. They separate from their mom and relocate to a professor’s home named Digory Kirke. Lucy decides to explore his home and finds an ordinary wardrobe. She is curious and opens it surprisingly seeing the magical world of Narnia. The rest of the children discover this mystery and journey into the world of Narnia. In this world, they are completely separate from the ordinary world with Professor Kirke. The Pevensie children are unexpectedly called to an adventure to save Narnia from the White Witch. They fight through tests and enemies to help achieve their goal. In general, this movie was absolutely excellent. It had great acting with stunning visuals despite the fact it was created almost a decade ago. Personally, I would recommend this to anyone especially someone who read the book because I assure it will bring excitement and pure movie awesomeness.
