I am a very big fan of the C.S. Lewis books and have all of them many times, so i was excited to see that they were going to make a movie for another one of the books. But i was a little disappointed that it didnt follow the book as well as i had hoped. I guess that happens a lot with movies made after books. so i guess if you read the book, just dont expect to be the same. nonetheless, the movie was in fact spectacular. The special effects were amazing, and they way they told the story was interesting. i definately recommend it- Just dont read the book first.
