As a fan of Harry Potter and the Chronicles of Narnia I gave this movie a chance. I found I greatly enjoyed it. After having read the book (after I saw the movie) I must say, they did leave out the most important chapter, and even though it did not take away my initial enjoyment, it left me a bit disappointed and wanting. In a world of long movies, what was 30 more minutes to show us the ending we should have had. Overall I still like the movie and intend on buying it when it's released on DVD.
