It is a very, very good Movie

Rating: 7/10 (12 December 2005)

But it is no "Lord of the Rings", more like "Harry Potter". I love the books and I think Disney did a good job but I feel they made a serious mistake in ballyhooing the "allegory thing". People who come to the movie particularly for that will be disappointed, it is so subtly done that If you hadn't been told about it in advance , you probably would't register on it Those people who stay away because of the ad stress on the allegory, miss a very good movie. Since this is a fantasy{ aimed toward children?} the battle scenes are clean, no gore. Exciting but not frightening. I hope they will continue with the rest of the books in the series. I don't recall any additional allegory in the rest of the books. Hopefully ,those children seeing the movie will be encouraged to read the books and see Narnia for themselves
