The charge was the best part of the movie for me, and rivalled (not sure if it beat) the Ride of the Rohirrim. The few seconds before the forces clashed - as the music and sound falls down to almost a silence, as the cheetahs slowly overtake their comrades , and then BANG! the foes clash together at high speed - was Magnificent!

plus I also like the fact that the children aged and spent years in Narnia, forgetting about the 'real' world and finally stumbling onto the Lamp Post. and we got a glimsp of the White Stag which was welcoming.

PS if you haven't seen it yet, hang around for a while after the credits start as there's a little bit more to see after a minute or two.............
