7 historical innacuracies and one fundamental character change before the opening credits

So I went to see The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe tonight.

I thought it was almost perfect. There were a few directorial decisions I could quibble with (the entrance to the wardrobe should have been more casual, and he seemed to rely on music to create the mood at times when he could have toned back the music and trusted the actors and the atmosphere) and I didn't agree with some things that were cut (I really like the white witch turning the picnic to stone, and the sequence of bringing the statutes back to life was unncessarily truncated). My little sister said 'if anything could convert me to christianity that would' - I wouldn't go that far, but it was pretty cool.

So I'm sorry to disappoint people and not deliver on my promised political analysis. But right now all I can say is that Tilda Swanton was fantastic, and Lucy was almost as good if she had been played by me (if you'd given me a magic lamp aged 7 I probably would have wished to be in a movie version of Narnia).
