I remember the first one. Awesome. It has what lots of current movies are lacking, and that is a plot and a storyline. Action is well done, but isn't the main selling point. Its added to enhance the story. So if you're looking for pure adrenaline, go somewhere else. The characters are dynamic. I mean its not oh I'm good and your evil. They get tempted, they make mistakes, and some fall, some rise up. I like it because the focus of the move is spread around. An example is Harry Potter series the focus is on the 'magic', and beating the bad guy. In the Narnia series the focus is the people and the land, and magic is an added touch. Plus the themes resonate on good for society basis . . . and personal character development. Forget about paying a psychotherapist your $ and learn from here LOL. :Þ Aslan is there to hook people up, and Christians will recognize many of the links seeded in by CS Lewis to their religion It was very close to the book, as far as my 7th grade memory can reach . . . and wonderful addition to anyone for a good adventure in a land of fantasy.
