I loved the books and am a big C.S. Lewis fan in general. I thought the movie was very exciting and even a little old-fashioned (like a CGI laden Ray Harryhausen film). I was a little disappointed with some of the changes they made to the story, but a lot of things they got very right (bratty Eustace, brave Reepicheep, noble Aslan, bizarre Dufflepuds, etc.). It’s really a very imaginative story.
Get out there and see this one, folks! We need to support films that actually promote a good moral message for once. If movies like this fail then Hollywood will just continue to crank out more and more garbage.
And it’s funny. Hollywood only seems to be playing politics with Christian themed films. In many instances, they have been coming out with commitments to series that don’t rake in that much revenue (take SAW for example, especially after the third one). And that’s not the only one either. And yet, for movies like Narnia, they are going on a profit by film, step by step basis.
