I'm a fan of the books, and the only problem I had with the movie was, as YIYF said, pushing this CHRONICLES OF NARNIA EPISODE I crap. Everytime someone asks me, "Have you seen Narnia, yet?" I respond, "Yeah, I've seen The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe." I don't know. I really liked it. I thought it expanded the story very well. And it's nice that some events were actually portrayed rather than just talked about. I found it much more emotional to actually see Edmund get taken out by the White Witch rather than have Peter tell Aslan after the fact, "Well, it's Edmund who saved the day by breaking her staff, but she hurt him really bad." I'll probably get seriously flamed for saying that...

By the way, I've always been a fan of Edmund not only because he's the most interesting of the kids, but because my real first name is also Edmund. ^_^
