Narnia Reviews from my boys

Well,
my boys wanted to talk about Narnia in an email to their grandparents.
After two days of typing in bursts, they are done and I thought you
might like to have a look too. This one is my 8 year old's: On Wednesday, we went and saw Narnia (Lion, Witch and Wardrobe) at the Tuggeranong cinema. It was really good. I liked it when Aslan roared because it was really loud and he looked so magnificent. I liked the battle. Peter was the oldest, Susan was next, then Edmund and then Lucy. Peter was in command of the army. First he sent lots of eagles to drop stones on the superior numbers of the enemy. (The Witch's army). Then he led the charge on the enemy. From the air, it looked like a huge triangle of men and animals. Edmund was in charge of the archers. When Peter withdrew his army to the rocky cliffs where Edmund and his men were hiding, the enemy followed. Then Edmund and his men fired and weakened the enemy even more. Peter's bodyguard and a rhino charged because Peter had been knocked off his horse and was on the ground near the other army. Peter went and came up to the Queen (Witch) herself and fought bravely. Susan and Lucy were with Aslan after he had been killed on the stone table. The stone table broke, the deep magic was fulfilled and Aslan rose back to life. They went to the Queen's castle and got all the men and animals who had been turned into stone. Aslan breathed on them and they turned back to life. Then, as Peter's army was almost defeated, Aslan roared and the reinforcements came sweeping down. The Queen's army was defeated and Aslan killed her. After that, Peter became High King Peter the Magnificent. Susan became Queen Susan the Gentle, Edmund became King Edmund of the West Woods and Lucy became Queen Lucy the Valiant. Then Lucy was looking out of the window after the feast and saw Aslan walking down the beach. She asked Mr Tumnus where he was going. Mr Tumnus said that one minute he would be there, and the next minute he wouldn't. Aslan has other affairs to go to. When they were grown ups in Narnia, they were hunting the white stag which if they caught it, would give them wishes. Suddenly, it went under a hedge and Peter said the horses couldn't follow so they went on foot. The they came upon a post covered in vines. It was the lamp post they had seen on their way into Narnia. They kept on going and then they stumbled back out of the wardrobe. They had turned back to kids again. Then later, at night, Lucy was trying to sneak in again when the Professor found her. He said that she wouldn't be getting in that way again. You'll be drawn there again by magic when you're needed. On Wednesday night, we went to see Narnia. It was the first time I had been to a cinema. I had a fun time seeing the movie. I liked it how they did everyone's character. Lucy was the most excited one. When she told the others about what she had seen, they didn't believe her. That night, she went into the wardrobe again and Edmund came looking for her. He saw Narnia as well. He saw the white witch and the witch tried to persuade him to go to her side. The white witch tried to get Edmund to bring Peter, Susan and Lucy to her. The white witch told Edmund that if he brought Peter, Susan and Lucy to her, then he could become King of Narnia. The white witch said her house was between two hills and to bring P,S and L there. Once Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy were in Narnia they could conquer the white witch. It was told that 2 daughters of Eve and 2 sons of Adam would defeat the white witch. Aslan was a lion; a big big lion. He was as tall as Edmund. He was a leader and would help them. The white witch came to Aslan's camp and had a talk with Aslan. After that, the white witch went away. That night, Aslan went to the witch's camp. The witch's people mocked him. The witch then said to bind him up and then she said for him to be shaved. The witch said to bring him up to her at the stone table. She killed him and then she prepared for battle. Aslan let himself be killed because he was dying in Edmund's place. Edmund had betrayed his brother and sisters and then he betrayed the white witch. Then they had a battle. At first, Peter's army had birds drop stones on the other army. Then Peter charged and attacked the enemy. They retreated and Edmund's bowmen shot arrows and weakened the other army. Peter's bodyguard and a rhino attacked the enemy. The rhino attacked the men while the bodyguard attacked his way through the men to the white witch but got turned to stone. Peter and his men charged again. Peter was almost defeated when Aslan showed himself with a new army. Aslan had risen from the dead. The white witch had been fighting Peter and kept fighting harder when she saw Aslan. She was trying to kill Peter before Aslan came. Then Aslan killed the white witch. THE END!!!! That's my 7 year old's. Yes, my fingers have recovered now. |
