Four young adventurers playing hide-and-seek in the country home of an old professor stumble upon an enchanted wardrobe that will take them places they never dreamed. Stepping through the wardrobe door, they are whisked out of World War II London into the spectacular parallel universe known as Narnia--a fairy-tale realm of magical proportions where woodland animals talk and mythological creatures roam the hills. But Narnia has fallen under the icy spell of a mad sorceress, cursed to suffer through a winter that never ends by the White Witch Jadis. Now, aided by Narnia's rightful leader, the wise and mystical lion Aslan, the four Pevensie children will discover their own strength and lead Narnia into a spectacular battle to be free of the Witch's glacial enslavement forever.

I've been waiting for this movie... - The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe Reviews
I've been waiting for this movie to be made since I read the book when I was a kid. This move is truly one of the great ones. I recommend it anyone who loves fantasy and who goes to a movie to be enchanted.
I will admit that there were a few slow parts, like when they kept looking into each other's eyes and thinking. (In the book, those parts wouldn't have been slow because the writer tells you what they are thinking. In a movie, you just see eyes and facial expression.)
For those saying it?s like LOTR well, if that comparison is based of the fact that its fantasy with elements of war, magic, and themes of love then, I guess so. However, anyone who has read in the genre of fantasy would know that almost every story in that genre deals with war, magic, and themes of love. (Some even written before the great LOTR) Besides, how can saying, "a movie is like LOTR," be a bad thing? Unless, you didn't like LOTR. (That, in itself, would be wrong on so many levels.)
