Loved it loved it loved it. It's been a long time since I read any of the books but as far as I remember there was nothing omitted. Excellent acting which is rare in such a young cast and I had my doubts about Liam Neeson as the voice of Aslan but Oh how wrong I was! And Aslan's death?!?! I had to fight back a tear!

Does anyone remember the animated version? I used to watch that religiously as a child.

Speaking of which I thought the Christian metaphors were a little bit overbearing but still, the film is a triumph!

I hope the other 6 books get such a treatment!

Yeah, the movie was amazing, when Aslan died the theater was dead silent. I hope they Adamson decides to do the other six, Prince Caspian would be next, wouldn't it?

Well storylinewise the second book was the first iin the timeline.

There werre actually people clapping at the end of the movie, haven't heard that in a long time.

It's not terribly likely but I'd love for the film to get a LOTR style extended cut when it gets to DVD. I thought some elements could have been further embellished. the early scenes with Lucy and Mr Tumnus/ Edmund's interaction with the Queen. Little things like that!

What's not likely, them making the other books into movies or the DVD release getting an extended cut?

He meant an extended version.

But I think I heard they weren't going to do the other six. Not sure where though. I think it also said they might do one or two more.

If you read the books again then watch the animated film, you'll notice almost the whole end will be changed. They did a really good job in keeping the moive to the story, there were minor changed here and there.

These books were written after C. S. Lewis became a Christian, it seems to be one of the ways he shared his faith. Thought out the whole series is the Christian story embedded, like in the Last Battle, it's much like the book of Revelations.

Yeah, (spoilers below, highlight to read)
Aslan symbolized Jesus, The Emperor over the sea is God, The White Witch was Satan (at least in the books I've read and the movie).
Probably a few others that I haven't noticed yet or didn't think of for this post.

I'm almost done with the fourth book.

I probably could have done a better job if I was the director for this movie, but it was pretty alright.

Ed isn't quite Judas. He sorta almost was, but not quite.

All the allusions went right with the book.
