The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005)
Country: US/GB
Technical: col/2.35:1 143m
Director: Andrew Adamson
Cast: Georgie Henley, Skandar Keynes, William Moseley, Tilda Swinton, James McAvoy, Jim Broadbent
Synopsis:
Children evacuated from the Blitz during WW2 find themselves staying in the house of a reclusive professor whose upper floor houses a wardrobe that offers a portal to another world.
Review:
An opportunity to offer another sequence of movies in the Tolkien/Rowling genre was not one producers were about to let pass and this is as decent a job as one could reasonably expect. Oddly it is the special effects, with some decidedly Tomb Raider-like wolves, that seem to let the side down at odd times, rather than the script, though there are one or two indulgences that can only be there for American audiences.
