Sure, we have mega blockbusters like Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, both of which were excellent movies in their own right. But the Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe shines in it's own right. A true masterpiece among the ages that deserves just as much praise as HP or LoTR, probably even more.
I won't go into a synopsis of the movie, seeing as how most of you have either read the books or have seen the movie already and know it's plot. The accidental discovering of an enchanted land ruled forever by winter by the evil White Witch Jadis (Tilda Swinton in all her icy splendor) prompts the Pevensie family (with little Lucy first discovering the land) to eventually realizing their destiny and joining forces with the powerful Aslan (voiced by Liam Neeson), ensuing in one of the coolest battles in cinema history.
This film was very magical indeed. Not only does it capture the essence of the book very well, it also adds it's own little touches of Disney magic here and there. Hard to believe you were watching a Disney-made movie, but that's what it is. Truly cinema magic. I also felt that it was more drama-free than Harry Potter franchise and much more joyous and cheerful then the Lord of the Rings franchise.
Looks like Disney has struck gold once again with this one. Go with the family or take a friend (or a few friends) and go see this!
