The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe

This is yet another show that I didn’t catch (no surprises to people who know me well enough) when it came out. Can’t say it’s bad, just not exactly my cup of tea. But well it does serves as an enjoyable entertaining film following the adventures of 4 kids, who by stumbling into a magical wardrobe find themselves in an all new magical world of Narnia. I can’t say I would enjoy having such a wardrobe but its interesting nonetheless haha.
Story wise, I suppose it followed the novel. A typical good vs evil kind of story. But it is quite visually pleasing. There are some rather impressive scenes that just feels enchanted, something you just want in a magical fantasy story. Since I’m pretty much one of the laggards, I think I don’t need to say much! For the other movies in the series, I think I will as usual wait for them to pop up on the tv.
P.S. There is a subtle focus on the growth, maturity and development on the 4 kids, and that is the important part
