Narnia

Having read the reviews it is just as I feared - it looks like Narnia is a movie that will only really appeal to children.

the debate over whether the movie is christian or not doesn't matter to me in that mpovies like the matrix also had religious concepts filtered through them and many movies have references to the american revolution or whatever sprinkled through them. But movies that target children too much drive me mad. the worst are where thee is some little kid who is ridiculously lucky and kid like but at the same time always proven right or to be the best.

I guess Narnia could hardly resist the urge to do that.

What other books are there that could be made into epic movies?
