Yup, by comparison with his mate Tolkien, Lewis's stories were a bit thin, weren't they? I suspect that is at the root of the many disappointed reviews of the Narnia film -- people might have been expecting something of the depth of LoTR, or at least the complexity of Harry Potter, and got neither -- and that's with one of the most story-filled books in the series! It's the small details I always liked in the Narnia books -- of how the lamp post was there to light Lucy's way, of the singing into existence of Narnia, and so on. I'll still nip along to see the film once the kids have gone back to school, I think, but I won't have huge expectations.
