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

First of all I want to stress that this movie is not intended to be directed towards childeren, no more than the Lord of the Rings trilogy was. Not only is the story not geared towards childeren (battle scence and an overall dark and scary tone) the movie is nearly two and a half hours long. The four starring actors are all childeren, but the story is one that is similar in nature to that of Lord of the Rings. That being said, I am waiting with much anticipation for the remainder of series, hoping that they will indeed make all the books from the Chronicles of Narnia series. I did read the series of books as a child, but I'm not going to lie and try to draw comparisons between the books and the movie because I truely can't remember. I think the acting done by the young cast memebers was terrific and I am looking forward to their performaces in movies to come. Overall I thought the movie was well done, the special effects were excellent in the manner that you didn't really notice them. Lastly, I think it is important to note that like most movies made from book serires or most series of movies, one movie is never really a complete story and should never be viewed as though it was a complete movie. This movie is simply the first chapter in what should be a series of movies, and I am looking forward to those coming chapters
