That Was I Night I Should Have Just Stayed Home & Read Fanfic

Narnia: after the worst audience ever, the fenderbender (I wasn't driving), the movie's much more blatant christian imagery, the LoTR rip-off plot cinematography, plus

the crappy Peter Pan ending,

it so wasn't worth the 8 bucks and 2 1/2 hours of my life.

The christian imagery in the Narnia books is one of those, ymmv things: when I first read the books I didn't see it at all, until I got the very end, and I was like, 'what, this is the end, and it's super unsatisfying.'

But I think CS Lewis stated that his story was christian allegory, which means that people really talk about it - I don't know if they talk about it less in England, but America does have - or at least currently is - in the midst of a cultural struggle about the separation of church and state, so I'm not surprised that it's a topic that gets discussed a lot her.
