this movie do one of the best job of follow a book i have ever read . the best character in there be edmund and play by skandar keynes . he portray the character exactly a i picture him be in the book . his development be right on the mark . the other kid be great as well and i hope all four end up with wonderful act career . his dynamic with tilda swinton be commendable and especially come from such a young actor . i would love to see skandar keynes and tilda swinton in a project together . tilda swinton be another wonderful actress in this movie . she give the white witch more dimension than what appear in the book . the scene where she give edmund the turkinsh delight be one of the best in the movie . tilda swinton steal that scene when she welcome edmund onto the sleigh and really make him believe she will make him king . her scene in the castle throne room where she loose her temper with him make u see her true wickedness in a startling way and a do the scene where she slap him . like previous poster have say and her icy stare be such a good touch . james mcavoy be another standout in this movie . he demonstrate his versatility a an actor . to see him perform a a faun in this and then watch him in the last king of scotland in one of the most powerful role i have ever see be amazing . he be another one i hope to see more often . the change make to the be great for the movie . the subplot with maugrim and his pack of wolf be a wonderful addition and especially with the dynamic between him and peter . change the character of susan into a much strong young woman be also appreciate . in the book she be a much weak character .
