Caught the Chronicles of Narnia yesterday-best movie I've seen in a while. Never having read the Chronicles, I appreciated the symbolism in the movie's adaptation, both Christian and Pagan. My daughter who has read a couple of the books, just loved it for the story and special effects which I did as well. The 'sacrifice' of Aslan and the battle scene toward the end might be a bit too intense for the under 8 crowd especially on the big screen. See it without reserve and appreciate it for what it is- a great flick.
