Narnia:What Do You Think?

Has anyone seen Narnia who has not already read the books? I have read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe several times so I knew what was going to happen. I knew who each of the characters represented in CS Lewis fashion so I was unable to see the movie fresh.

I'm wondering of Aslan came across as I know him to be-if the Witch appeared to represent who---well, you get my drift. Did anyone see the movie without readihg the books? What did you think?

BTW I have seen a few movie versions of Narnia. I think it was a BBC version that came out about 10 years ago. That one was pretty good. I liked this one as well. Thought the kids did a great job.
