Well done special FX+CGI but children's fantasy story...

Copied this from another comment because it's a perfect summary: "might be o.k. for small children, but definitely not for the sophisticated child or adult."
Honestly, I feel such fantasy crap like Beastmaster or Masters of the Universe actually has a better story background than Narnia.
As a movie Narnia is well done, actually it is only the garbage fantasy mix from the original story that makes it suck for anyone beyond 12. Maybe we have a better understanding now why J.R.R. Tolkiens and C.S. Lewis friendship broke up on this. It takes some time to compare two books, but two movies based on books can be compared within one day.
Comparing LOTR with Narnia is like comparing Dracula to Count Von Count.
