I am so excited to see it. I was supposed to go this weekend, but I was a bit hungover when all my friends went. It looks so visually enthralling. I remember reading the books as a kid. It was sort of required reading in my family. I never finished the series (A Horse and His Boy was a bit drab and I couldn't get through it), but the first 3 books were great. I also loved those old BBC movies that they showed over here in the states. Even though C.S. Lewis originally intended these to be rather subtle Christian stories for kids (which churches are happy about: link), I think they're great pieces of literature, with both moral guidance and dealing with coming of age problems.

The movie is very well done over all. I remember watching some of the BBC movies which were a bit low budget. Some ware on some VHS that my parents have now most likely thrown out we have a cartoon of it as well. The books are way cool as well.
Anyhow the movie I would say was similar to Lord of the Rings in the sense of over all quality. The special effects budget seemed smaller, but the creatures where vary well done. They also kept the violence to a minimal level no blood flying all over the place and such.
As to the subtitle Christian thing I’d say there is very little that is subtitle to me it seems very forthright, but than again I am a Christian and I like things like Narnia.
Anyhow even if you have no like for CS Lewis or Christianity the movie is well worth a few bucks.

I meant subtle for kids. When I was young, the Christian theology flew way over my head. I'm sure it does for a lot of kids unless their parents discuss it with them.

Narnia for Grown-UpsAdults love Narnia for its complex portrayals of good and evil and its celebration of the sacred in everyday life.By Devin Brown
