Saw it yesterday.

I was a big fan of the books as a kid (20+ years ago) and although I haven't read them in quite some time (15 or so years) they are still ingrained in my psyche. That being said, I think they did quite a good job, and I don't think there is much they could have done that would have made it much better. As I was watching it though, I did begin to doubt that it had the "flash-bang" to win over the majority of the ADD youth of today, since it is more of a "story" rather than a series of action sequences spliced together.

And as with any book-->movie translation, one could nitpick if one chose to, such as Spoiler: IMO Aslan should have been physically bigger, since there was supposed to be no mistaking him for an average lion. And I also felt that the Aslan death scene should have been more brutal, but with the Disney moniker, that was never gonna happen. But since those things didn't ruin the movie for me, It's not a big deal.

One thing I thought they did really well was make talking animals that didn't look retarded.

Overall, I'd give it a 8.5 out of 10
