This movie could have been so much more with more thought and consideration put into the creation process. I was expecting much more realistic special effects, meaning the creatures of Narnia just didn't look as many people expected. Way too much artistic licence was taken, in my opinion, in the thought and creation of the creatures. American phrases replaced well thought out literary statements that Lewis' genius created in the book that we all know and love. The added scenes, such as the frozen waterfall and river scene in addition to the air raid in the begining were unneccesary. The book is pure genius, and did not need someone else tampering with the very story line that was intended. I hope some of this will be corrected in future C.S Lewis productions.
