"That's the charm of the Narnia stories: They contain magic and myth, but their mysteries are resolved not by the kinds of rabbits that Tolkien pulls out of his hat, but by the determination and resolve of the Pevensie kids (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" | ||
|
|
|
"An engaging and exciting family film that at times feels a bit like "The Lord of the Rings Jr." | ||
|
|
|
"It would be easy to brush off The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe as Lord of the Rings-light. Very light. But the film really isn't even that good" | ||
|
|
|
"The extensive CGI work is well used and the children are exceptionally well cast, especially the girls" | ||
|
|
|
The movie, for all its half-baked visual marvels, remains remarkably faithful to Lewis' story, and the innocence of his passion begins to shine through" | ||
|
|
|
"It leaves out the deep magic of a good movie, or a good sermon: the feeling that something vital is at stake." | ||
|
|
|
"An entertaining, emotional, and surprisingly intimate movie" | ||
 |
|
"It's a more dynamic adventure than 'Potter IV' but lacks the majesty and richness of 'LOTR'. Still, it's an enjoyable adaptation (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" | ||
|
|
|
"There's no fire, no passion and not much fun." | ||
 |
|
"The picture goes exactly where the prose does, enticing all of us, kids and adults and atheists and believers alike, down below the brittle surface of our cold logic and into a richer world of imaginative wonder" | ||
|
|
|
"The problem with any allegorical plan, Christian or otherwise, is not its ideological content but the blockish threat that it poses to the flow of a story." | ||
|
|
|
"This honorable adaptation of C. S. Lewis's novel has much of the power and charm of the source" | ||
|
|
|
"A movie of intelligence and power, of beauty, universality and largeness of spirit" |
