This movie was a crowd pleaser! I took my 11 year old and his friend to see Bolt, and found the theatre filled with everyone from 3 to 99 years of age. Lots of laughs and cheers. The 3D is a nice feature, making the stunts and special effects seem real. The message about love and loyalty is uplifting.
I love the Lewis books, and this movie was charming. I still like the first Narnia movie a little better -- the enchantment of the White Queen can't be beat -- and I would recommend you (re)view the first Narnia before seeing this one. Some things won't make sense without having the back story. Aslan is a true hero. As in the first movie, the cinematography here is great.
