Chronicles of Narnia Movie - The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe

I have always been an avid Tolkien fan, but the shortfall of Tolkien's books is that they are so dominately male, especially in the department of the characters that are appealing to my tastes. Lewis on the other hand does not have races where all their women have disappeared. Lewis' stories also have much more female representation. It is these aspects of Lewis stories that I find more appealing.

The movie is also a little more watchable for me then the LoTR film because it isn't as dark in tone.
