An old lady sitting next to me asked if she was in the right theater during the bombing scene. I wasn't 100% sure myself, since I had arrived "late" (ie in time to see the last preview), and had hurried into the theater without seeing any signs. Later, she literally jumped half a foot when Edmund was stepping over Maugrim.
I did enjoy the film a lot. I'll echo lumberjim's effects comments, with respect to bluescreening as well as the creature effects. I'll also echo seakdivers' daughter's comments - the bits that made the least sense were the wolf chase through the tunnel and on the ice raft, and they were also the bits that were added by Hollywood.
One bit that I wish hadn't been omitted was the gifts to the Beavers. I mean, come on. They wait a hundred years (or whatever portion of which they've been alive), and Father Christmas all but ignores them? For the Pevinsies, it hasn't even been one year since they were last visited!
I'm looking forward to the other books, especially the Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I am interested, though, in how they'll handle the Muslim stuff in the later books.
