I give The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe a 9. Probable Purchase on my scale. If you liked the book you will certainly like the movie because it doesn't deviate much from the original material. If you've never read the book, then you should go read the book and then watch the movie.

The effects were terrific, and it was completely fine that the movie was toned down in some areas in order the be more kid friendly. The books were written for kids, so the movie should adhere to that. For example, you don't see anyone's head being cut off, even though they allude to it. You don't see anyone's face getting eaten by a lion, even though they infer that.

It clocked in at 2 hours and 10 minutes and I think they actually could have added another 30 minutes in there. I enjoyed it and will probably go see it again in a few weeks.
