Thought it was a good movie! Good fairy tale even for adults. May I admit to a few tears when Aslan was being tortured enroute to his crucifixion...err, I mean, death.
Theater was filled, too.
My experience was similar. And I am recommending this movie to everyone! Went to a 16 screen multi-plex. Narnia was showing in two of the theaters...and each one was packed and sold out...the other 14 were not.
