THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE
Why you might like this:
Rousing adventure, excellent battle scenes, and a really good action flick
The young actors playing the Pevensie children are engaging and talented
Excellent production design – an occasionally beautiful looking film
Tilda Swinton is supernaturally badass
Some quality supporting roles and performances
Why you might not not this:
Some of the creature CGI and computer animation is poor quality; you can even see the seams between animation and live action
A dull and plodding first half hour
An unspectacular voice over by Liam Neeson as Aslan
