These were my favorite books as a child. I never imagined they would be so wonderful on the screen but when I saw LW&W I turned to my husband and said this is just the way I imagined them when I read the books.
I agree that they got most things right, and the movies have been visually stunning, but one thing that has bothered me about them is that they are too hurried. In the LW&W, for instance, the movie gives the impression that all of the main story happens in about a week, whereas in the book it was over the course of months. Especially when it came to the boys' first main battle, in the movie it seemed ridiculous that they were able to fight after a week in Narnia, whereas in the book, they spent months training.

My main complain for the 1st movie is they left out the lines between the beavers and the children:
"Aslan is a lion? Is he safe?"
"Of course, he is not safe. But he is good!"
