Trivia:
The role of Aslan, the most famous Narnian character, is considerably smaller in the film than it is in the book. Nearly 95% of the movie goes by without him. more
Goofs:
Continuity: At the end, when the Pevensies walk through the magic tree that will take them back to their own world, the three oldest siblings supposedly walk through, while Lucy waits right next to the trunk to take a final look at Aslan. Then it cuts to a front-shot of them walking through, but now Lucy is far away from the trunk, almost back where Aslan is standing. And the other three should have passed through already. more
Quotes:
Peter Pevensie: When Aslan bares his teeth, winter meets its death.
Lucy Pevensie: When he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again. Everyone we knew - Mr. Tumnus and the Beavers - they're all gone.
Peter Pevensie: I think it's time we found out what's going on.

More LOTR than CSL but still great fun, 28 June 2008
8/10
Author: yoel marson from United Kingdom

Taking kids to the cinema can sometimes be painful but this trip was as much for me as them; i have read the book countless times and have just finished it with my eldest daughter.

The film was more LOTR than CS Lewis and don't know what he would have made of this interpretation. There was just enough in common with the book as to transfer the empathy that i have built with the characters over the last 25 years. There were some changes and original scenes that were totally unnecessary and the tone of the movie was much darker and action oriented than the book.

The upside is that aside from that it was a very well made film, almost up there with LOTR in terms of great fantasy and infinitely more appealing to anyone over 12 years old than Harry Potter.

After fictitiously originating the pevensies from finchley in the 1st movie, he has now made the telmarines Spanish and that sort of worked OK. The pevensies and caspian were close to what i would have imagined and the supporting cast of dwarfs and mice were excellent.

Another 2 years to wait till Voyage of the Dawntreader; would have liked to have seen Horse and his boy next. Mind you, in theory that could be done in 10 years time with the same actors.

All in all, a great improvement on the lion, the witch and the wardrobe.
