It's definitely on my 'must see' list! The trailers look great.

I took my kids to se it in the theater when it came out. It's a good family flick but it is not nearly as good or as exciting as Lord of the Rings.

It is a good movie indeed, and is worth the money to see. It has a good plot, and isn't hard to understand for some of you older fella's...

I thought the movie went rather quickly for its length. Steady movement; good plot; never a dull moment or a lull in the storyline.

It is a classic from C.S. Lewis. There are great spiritual overtones in the movie that stay true to the book. Those parallels were lost on me when I was young and read the book. I read the book later in life and comprehended it easy enough. The movie is faithful to the story. I saw it when it hit the theater and we made sure to buy a DVD the first day it came out.

Absolutely beautiful movie. Didn't think it was long at all. I'd feel cheated if it wasn't.

Spiritual overtones are an understatement.

Thats the best way to describe it. They included everything that they needed to to get C.S. Lewis's original point across. This is a very faithfull rendition.
