Just got back from seeing The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. It was good, although I did have a few nits to pick. First, I realize the movie was only PG, but not only was there no blood, but Peter’s sword remained shiny throughout the entire battle sequences. That was just entirely too clean. They could have made it at least dirty looking. Second, I thought the fight between Peter and the White Witch was beyond belief. Tilda Swinton as the White Witch was gorgeous in her handling of her swords, while, for good and obvious reasons, Peter came across as little more fumbling. She should have cut him to ribbons. My disbelief was having trouble being suspended there.

But other than that, we really enjoyed it. It was fun. Lots of sword bashing. Very low gruesome factor. See it in the theater, only try to avoid seeing it with toddlers, like we had the misfortune to do.

Sorry, but I don’t think three year olds belong at a PG movie.
