..The Review:Narnia-The Lion,Witch&Wardrobe


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

..since ive read the book before watching the movie,i could understand the storyline very well.

..the story unfolds with the journey of Peter,Susan,Edmund&Lucy to a huge mansion in the country.One rainy morning,the children were playing hide&seek when the littlest of them all,Lucy stumbles upon a huge wardrobe and decided to make that her hiding place.Little that she know,the wardrobe is the doorway to a magical place called Narnia.

..there,she met with Mr Tumnus,a faun (read:faun:-human+deer),that was instructed by the wicked Witch to capture any son of Adam or daughter of Eve (aka human) who enters Narnia.But the kind-hearted faun decided to let Lucy go instead of turning her in.Upon returning from Narnia,Lucy shares her adventure with the rest of her siblings only to be regard as "having too much imagination".


..but fate brought the 4 siblings to Narnia when they were hiding from the housekeeper who was crossed with them for breaking the window while playing cricquet.So the 4,all climbed into the huge wardrobe and viola!! they were all in Narnia.

..it turns out there was a prophercy that says something like this "peace will be upon Narnia when the sons of Adam and daughters of Eve sits upon the 4 thrones in the castle of Cair Pavel"..Which pretty much means,in a layman's term if you please,that The wicked Witch will be defeated by the sons of Adam & daughters of Eve,whom shall rule Narnia and brings back its peace,just to the people and glory to the name.

..so the story continues with the quest to save Edmund (who was 'bewitched' by the witch -->further explanation,please read the book or watch the movie.if i tell you,itll spoil the fun of it).And to seek Aslan,the great Lion,who's like the creator of Narnia-->you'll only understand this if you read the prequel to this story, "The Magician's Nephew".And vanquish the wicked Witch,who by the way,is also hunting the children,so that the prophercy wouldnt come true.Will they save Edmund and fulfill the prophercy?Please check out the conclusion at your nearest cinema..hehehe

..apparently,C.S Lewis is a close fren of JRR Tolkien.So,there might be some familiar storyline.And the war scene was also thrilling.tThe sceneries of Narnia was awesome (it was filmed in Checz Republic).i would say that the movie met my expectations,even exceeded it!!

..basically..I LOVE IT!! And i recommend this movie to everyone for a really laidback n relaxing kinda movie.

I'm a huge fan of the LOTR series. Even read all 3 books prior to watching the movie.I have not seen Narnia yet but I do notice from the previews that it does somewhat have a similiar storyline or cinematography as LOTR. Tell me, shall I be dissapointed if I expect it to be as good as LOTR? Planning to go see it this weekend.

Hezz,
I feel like a pro reviewer pulak :p
Well,Narnia is somewhat simpler than LOTR.not as complicated and action-packed..But it is thrilling & exciting,nontheless.the storyline is more straighforward compared to LOTR.Its an enjoyable one,that i can guarantee :-)
