Although the pacing of this 2nd Narnia movie is slower than the first outing it is still a great family film. There is a lot more implied violence in this movie compared to the first but it is still handled in a way that won't frighten the younger viewers. The FX are great and the acting is strong from the young cast - just wish the story had more magic and Narnians.
The movie is enjoyable but corny. The dialog is the only really bad element to the movie and the scenes where the action stops to allow for 5 - 10 minutes of talking are the real low points in the movie. But the action and racing scenes are fun and well conceived. The younger viewers will probably enjoy this much more than the adult movie goer that is not already a fan of the original cartoon.
