I saw Narnia last week and intend to see it with my whole family over Christmas. It's a great Christmas film - snow, ice, family oriented, and even Father Christmas and gift giving.
It is like Lord of the Rings, except a bit more child oriented and of course the message is wonderful. I thought it a touch slow in the beginning but it picked up later on. The special effects were better than I thought they would be.
It really does create a wonderful world. I can't wait to see it again.

Well, Fr. Christmas breaking out the weapons of war is just so darned "red-state." :^D
