Well, I have to give it five stars because it was an absolute thrill ride. However, Hollywood drives me crazy. C.S. Lewis would be absolutely disgusted at the additions to the plot. Seriously, was the castle storm needed? No. Lewis would also have abhorred the fact that there was so little of Aslan in the movie. He may not have been as "big" of a character as in the L/W/W, but come on... He is the main character of the series. He is THE MAIN CHARACTER!!! Get him in the movies. This was an attempt to present more action and less of a story. While these books were meant to be fantastical and entertaining, Hollywood needs to understand that there are other ways besides "kiss scenes" and bloodshed to entertain an audience. (I do enjoy battle sequences, but there was so much of the original story left out for the sake of squeezing in more fighting). Go watch it, but read the books and see what Lewis was really trying to teach: the Restoration of Truth and Grace.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
