This film demands your attention from its inception, because the story does not lag in its introduction. Right away movie watchers get a clear understanding of the unfolding events that will lead to apex of the plot. Infused with awesome clarity, the plot was well explained I think mainly due to the superb management of the film's pace. If something needed to be explained there was calmness injected into the plot through dialogue. This management apparently provided a nice pace to the film without making the film boring.
Visually, the film was stunning. The special effects were insane, and an absolute wonder. All the creatures looked really great, and their presence were not parsimonious. The appearance of the centaurs, griffins, and talking mice, were satisfactory. The kid in me was thoroughly satisfied. Furthermore, the majestic Aslan was official.
This movie was an absolute joy to watch, and admittedly there was not that much humor in this sequel. Indeed this was a very serious film, with a relatively strong political dimension. The battle scenes were amazing and emotional. There was one scene that involved trees that was reminiscent of Lord of The Rings-that sort of bothered me a little but, it was not that bad. According to Movies.com, the fans gave it a B+, and the critics gave it a B, and I will side with the fans and grade it a B+. Stay tuned, Movieporium.blogspot.com.
