From the first scenes of this movie, the attention they paid to detail was impressive. Like many who love the books, I was disappointed at first that the movie does not exactly follow the original plot precisely, but then I realized that this made the movie more pleasurable for me, since I then had no idea how things would go and could be as surprised as someone who had not read the book first by what happened next. And I came to realize that the movie is still true to the spirit and theme of the book and to the nature of the original characters. This was a great movie, and I don't usually enjoy movies that deviate from the original plot so much. I hope they do an even better job on "Voyage of the Dawn Treader" which is my favorite of all the Narnia books.
