Beautiful & Thrilling!

This was a fantastic HP film! I really, really loved it. The cinematography is excellent (clear, sharp, or dark by turns, with superb choices of coloring), the acting excellent, the screenplay--well, very good. It was tight and fast, with all the sub-plots and lots of characters cut out (what are you going to do with a book of that length?). I'm skimming over the book now, however, and am disappointed as I'm reminded of many important aspects that were completely left out. Maybe it should have been split into two flims, as I guess the last will be? But still very beautiful and enjoyable.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

C. S. Who??

This was just awful. How could they dare to destroy a wonderful story and (what's worse) relegate Aslan to an irrelevant, disconnected side show? I really did not think that even the Disney people would dare to do such a horrendous job, butchering Lewis's beautiful book. This is not even the same story, the theology is all messed up, and the entire feeling is different. Sure, go see it. But if you have any literary sense at all, you will bring a box of kleenex and some Pepto Bismol. And make sure you bring a friend to whom you can rant afterwards.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
