Well I have just finished up the chronicles and these book(s) are damn great. I love these stories. Much better as an adult than as a kid. My favorite is the Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

Rip-a-Cheek? Sounds more like a character from Harry Pooter to me.

You mean Reepicheep? I loved these books as a kid. They were inroduced to me by my sister. She's in her 40s now and still super excited about the movie. I always read them up through about halfway through Silver Chair. i could just never finish it after they went underground. jst bored I guess. Then I finally finished the series after several false starts and have read them all at least a dozen times. The ending of the last book was quite a shock the first time I read it and I didn't catch on to the Christian Mythological allegories until I was an adult and somebody in one of my college classes was like " Yeah Aslan is God and Narnia is heaven..." And I was like Whoooah. I recently purchased TLTWATW and started reading it with my seven year old daughter. So good times.

I've read it with my daughter as well (she's 6), and she really liked it. I think I'll hold off on seeing the movie with her though until I've had a look myself - looks like the battles are pretty intense.

The battle is not too bad for kids. It is only about 15 minutes long. It isnt gory or anything like that. I think it would be ok for a 6 year old. I am going ot show it to my 7 year old. Go see it. It is alot more than a battle scene anyways. As a matter of fact, stop fucking with your computer and go see it now.

It's intense in the sense that people get "Frozen" in battle by the white witch. Allegorical death. But then Aslan just breates on everybody afterwards and thaws them and the youngest of the four kids has a magical elixer given to her by Father Christmas that "cures any injury with just a drop" So all the implied carnage gets fixed in the mind of a young viewer. Nightmare free!

Once again, you assholes have nothing better to do in a literature forum than to talk about a movie! Do you spend all your free time in the movie forum talking about Harper Lee's To Kill a MockingBird? or Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand? Probably. Because you are all goony birds. I read these books when I was in kindergarten and was bored to tears. Talking animals? How unrealistic is that? Especially beavers who are married and mice with rapiers. If I could go back and rewrite these books, I would have the children stay in England and when they got old enough, join the army so they could go fight Nazis and Communists and Muslims instead of talking trees. I'm pretty sure C.S. Lewis was gay and liked to fill small children's heads with fanciful stories about leprechauns and wizards so he could touch them innapropriately. ha ha. You guys like to read gay books.
