okay i dont know if its because i grew up loving the BBC VHS version so much, but the movie really didnt meet my expectations. I thought the girl playing Lucy was brilliant considering her age, but the other children seemed a bit dull to me.
The white witch actress was brilliant, but I just couldn't get the feeling that she was really EVIL you know? she just didnt look 'cold' enough. but her acting was soso good.
One thing I will say though, is that the battle sequence was AWESOME. I mean, it was exciting enough that we were all glued to our seats, but Narnia is essentially a kid's movie, and the battle scene took that into consideration and struck EXACTLY the right balance.
But it was very faithful to the book and I didn't exactly leaving the cinema complaining endleslly like i did after watching Harry potter 4. I'd say 6.5/10 =)
