Great write up. I feel pretty much the same about the books, in that while I can't read them without wincing these days, I loved them and read them many times as a kid.
I thought it was very pretty, and the kids were really well cast. Agree about the CGI, I didn't mind Aslan, but the beavers were very annoying.
I also thought they drew very clear analogy between Mogrim and the gestapo. Which makes the white witch the evil nazis etc.
I'm wondering how I'll react to the adaption of His Dark Materials, Narnia and LotR are both books that I loved and then grew out of, but I haven't grown out of HDM yet, so I suspect I will care a lot more about the lack of significant themes.
