It's, erm.. definitely a product of its time. I enjoyed it, and I think I probably still would, it's just..... you really have to turn your social justice brain off for this one, in some parts, I think.

I loved a glimpse into the pevensies’ lives as rulers, but the overall story wasn’t that compelling to me. It also seemed to be drawn along lines of race and religion that I didn’t exactly love. Lewis also has a tendency of creating complex and interesting female characters then shoving them to the side in favor of his male characters. Truly a missed opportunity in my opinion.
