Its a good movie, no damage when it arrived

Not happy with curtains pole middle part missing and it’s ti short for window

This film was one I had an idle interest in watching when it first came out, but so idle I never actually got round to it. But having seen posters for the new film and been advised to watch it, I eventually dedicated some time to The Chronicles of Narnia - The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. And it was worth it. I've not read any of the books either, so I really had no idea what it was about, except it was a kind of fairy tale type thing. I found it sad right from the off as the children are sent away into the country during the war to keep them safe. The scene where they leave their mother I found particularly touching, especially as the oldest boy, Peter tries to be the man and say he'll look after everyone. On arriving in the countryside where they are to live with a professor on his sprawling estate, the children are quite taken aback at the manner of his housekeeper, and decide to keep out of hers and the professor's way at all times. Given the house and gardens are enormous, they realise that's not going to be a problem. In fact, youngest girl Lucy discovers that the grounds are even larger than they deemed possible. As the children play Hide and Seek one day, Lucy finds an ornate wardrobe in a spare room and makes up her mind this is the perfect place to hide. Even more so when she ventures further into the wardrobe and suddenly plops into thick snow. Lucy has arrived in the world of Narnia. The little girl explores alone, and even finds herself a friend and has an adventure. On returning to the wardrobe so her brothers and sister don't get too worried, Lucy is dumbfounded when they hadn't even noticed she'd gone. Although Lucy had been in Narnia for hours, the other children were still playing that same game of Hide and Seek. Realising she's found something rather special, Lucy tells her siblings the story. None of them believe her, and when she goes to prove it to them, the back of the wardrobe is predictably, solid wood. Frustrated and upset, Lucy insists she is telling the truth, but with no proof to back her up, she is forced to accept her family won't believe her. Soon enough though, all of the children hide in the wardrobe after smashing a window in the professor's house. And this time, the gateway to Narnia is open once more. Delighted and smug, Lucy is in her element. And this is where their adventures really begin. It appears the children have stumbled into the middle of a war for control over Narnia - and their part is more important than they ever believed possible... I'm glad I watched this. I won't say it was mind-blowing, but it was very good. And of course it's important to remember this is aimed at children, though there's no reason big kids (such as myself) won't enjoy it. The way I'd describe this film is a mix between The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, which given I'm a huge fan of both, is no bad thing. It didn't have quite so much tension as the other two, but as a PG, they wouldn't have been able to include violence or anything too scary! Overall, I reckon you'll enjoy this if you're a fan of LOTR and/or HP and you love fairy tales!

Good

I liked these films + had them on dvd but I don't like dvd so I now have them on blueray about time.

Tilda Swinton is a chillingly evil Snow Queen, her wardrobe in this film is worth studying too - truly enchanting. Aslan the Lion is so cute yet powerful, I found myself longing to stroke that beautiful mane! The child actors do a brill job of bringing the characters from the book to life. I read this story back in early 1980s as a child and I had tears in my eyes all through this film. With my 5 year old on my knee -truly believing in the magic, and my 14 year old snuggled up with us, she is interested in history and literacy, and enjoying pointing out all the historical references. This is a lovely movie, make no mistakes most stories age and some are disappointing after time passes, but this will be a classic forever. Do you believe in Magic? I think I do ya know ;)

Excellent story teller C S Lewis

Like most children growing up in England, I was enchanted by the Chronicles of Narnia, and with the Second World War still fresh in most peoples' minds, was soon exposed to the context and allegory of the tales. C.S. Lewis was one of the early members of the Inklings, a literary discussion group associated with the University of Oxford. Though most of its meetings took place in Magdalen College, there is also an old pub in Oxford called the Eagle and Child that still had a small display of memorabilia of the Inklings the last time that I was there. Apart from Lewis, other members included J.R.R. Tolkien, the philosopher and anthroposophist Owen Barfield, and Neville Coghill, who produced the modern version of the Canterbury Tales, and many other literary greats. There was a strong Christian thread running through the group, and enormous cross-pollination between these talented people. Their meetings took place between the late 1930s and the 1950s. So the Second World War - widely perceived at the time as the ultimate battle between good and evil, freedom and tyranny - colored much of the work of the Inklings. It is helpful to know that to understand the context of both the Lord of the Rings and Narnia. Until the advent of the Lord of the Rings, I had usually made it a point to miss filmed version of books, since they usually had to be butchered to fit into the 2-3 hour format. I would probably have missed this one, had it not been the featured movie on a recent flight, and I had finished the books that I had taken with me. It was so good that I have since watched it again. Yes, there is much that is missing. But a film of a book really shouldn't just be a visual rendering of the original: it needs the creativity and interpretations of the screenwriter, director and actors. It is also the first of the seven books that constitute the Chronicles. The cinematography is stunning and the child actors remarkable. As a former fencer, I thought it smart that the director didn't try to turn Peter into a master swordsman. He held and used his sword like a clumsy knife, which is exactly what an unschooled child would do. There were one or two strange things towards the end, when the children forget all about their parents to accept their crowns and play in Narnia. However great the prize, that does not ring true. But this is a minor quibble. I have always enjoyed books and films that transmit subtle positive messages, without the need for declaring them ahead of time. So this is indeed a fine movie for children old enough not to be upset by the violence, and it contains enough metaphor and allegory for all but the most hardened cynic.
