I've accepted Aslan as my personal Lord and Savior.

Seriously, it was a very nice film. Fun for the whole family, other than a few scenes which were a little intense for my five-year-old.

People worrying about the religiosity in the background, or worse yet, suing over it, really need to get a life. You have to try very, very hard to find obtrusive religious themes here. It's all quite standard and classic, and to the extent that what happens in the story coincides with the religious, well that's because so many of the common themes of Western Civilization owe so much to the Judeo-Christian religious tradition [Edit: Though in this case more Christian than Judeo, of course.]. There's no way to untangle the two, and very little reason to do so.

Sure, the scene where Aslan gets nailed to a cross is a little bit in-your-face, and that part where he's whipped in close-up with the blood and the Roman soldiers laughing and all that...it's a little intense -- sort of a Passion of the Qui-Gon when you think about it...but aside from that...

It's been a long time since I've read the book, so the story was more or less new to me again, and while a little long at points, it really did not drag. What child doesn't dream of finding a different world in the back of the closet?

Oh, and I don't care if she is evil. I'd share a robe with the White Witch any time.
