Dec. 10th, 2005 10:02 pmJust got in from seeing The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe...
Not disapointed, not even mildly so....
Almost, dare I say it, impressed?
Visually stunning of course, obviously a WETA workshop project. Good characterization- they must be plannng to do the other books, as you can see echoes in the acting of who Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy will later BE, not just who they are for the duration of the book.
And they followed the book to perfection. Yes, there were a couple of scenes that were embellished a bit, but the STORY was untouched, and NO sugar coating of certain intense moments (trying to be spoiler-free, here).
And I have never seen a more perfect Jadis...
I want to write an in-depth (and more gramatically correct:p) review, once I find my copy of L,W,&W.
Oh, and I really don't suggest it for anyone under 10yrs old. However, if your child can watch the HP movies /wo a problem, they *might* be able to handle it.
