All I Really Need to Know About Murder I Learned in Narnia
I have never read the Narnia books, so I only have this film to go on. Although mostly well-made, I don't see how something like this or its sequel can qualify as children's movies. The essential story of the Narnia films is one of glorifying a male-dominated system and hierarchy in which the most evil person involved is a woman. The films, like most American films, carry the message that some people are so bad they must be murdered--and murdered they are in climaxes that amount to bloodsport. The Christian symbology only confuses things further. The idea seems to be that "We're allied with the the righteous male power figure, so our killing is good killing." This sort of muddle-headed thinking should have died off with Cro-Magnon man, but instead appears on our screens as stories that Disney marks suitable for children.

Narnia
I always enjoyed the 7 books of the series. This version of LW&W makes good use of computer graphics effects - some of the best I'd seenwhen I first saw the film at the cinema. This is worth buying if you enjoy fantasy-sci-fi type films. Looking forward to Prince Caspian on DVD, and hoping they make the remaining 5 in the book series.

Incredible
To tell you the truth I became a fan of this movie after interviewing Anna and William here in Mexico, this version of the movie I find more interesting than the regular one because there are so many more details that people that like looking close to details will completely enjoy.
Other than that the extra features are amazing for people who are either curious or like me that work or study in things to do with movies, its completely amazing.
I just dont know what else to say other that i loved it

Christian entertainment
As a biblical allegory, the movie works quite well, making it's points more entertainingly and artistically than a straightforward bible story would. If, however, one wants to know how it works as stand-alone entertainment for a non-Christian child, you would be well advised to look elsewhere.
The Christian references are too obvious to be anything else, and the characters are created to be representative of a religious lesson instead of just a children's story, and it shows. The children are in many ways unlikeable and two-dimensional and the dialogue self-righteous. Tilda Swinton is riveting as a witch creepy and vicious enough to scare adults, let alone children. An older child will find both humor and adventure lacking, while a younger child will probably find all the violence frightening.

a nice transfer, good blu-ray and an ok movie
I didn't enjoy this movie as much as I did the first time I saw it. However the Blu-ray is a very nice transfer and if you're a fan of the film, it won't disappoint. It's a very nice upgrade from the dvd.

Another amazing BluRay from Disney
I have had this disc for a month, and am still working through the bonus features on it. Disney jam-packs their BluRay releases with Bonus features, and this one is no exception. When you have a whole extra BluRay (not DVD) of bonus features included.... I think the disc claims over 14 hours.
The video transfer is crip and sharp, and film grain is next to non-existant. Colors are vibrant, blacks are true - you would think that this film was shot with HD cameras rather than being a film transfer. The audio tracks will blow you away - just the bombing scene at the begining of the movie with the Dolby Digital soundtrack will work out your subwoofer - mine was bouncing off the floor. But there is more - like most Disney releases, this includes an Uncompressed PCM audio track, which, gratefully, the studio did not limit the disc to work only over HDMI. This is one of the few titles that I was able to export the PCM in 5.1 channels over my toslink cable!
Don't be fulled by the number of languages listed on the back of the package - there are WAY more audio tracks than this. Every major European language is represented on the disc, as welll as a few middle eastern and Asian languages. The audio comentaries are actually pretty fun on this disc - I think I had more fun listening to the audio commentary of the children and the director than I had watching the movie.
The only drawback to this disc is, like most Disney releases, it is a bit on the pricy side, costing over $25 at Amazon (don't even ask how much this thing costs at Best Buy, you are liable to have a heart attack). However, it was a nice addition to my BluRay collection, and I am sure any fan of this movie and the series would have happily paid twice this for the movie in HD.
