While the plot was clearly present, and the Pevensie children were in fine form through out, the movie wasn't all it could have been. Hollywood, as usually, screwed up something that could have been fun and different by trying to make it main stream. Not only is Caspian far too old(which I knew going in) but there's unnecessary attempts at romantic subplots and, frankly, the conclusion of the final battle and the ending of the movie itself was painfully cliched. All in all, I must prefer the old BBC tv movie of "Caspian". If you're the kind of person who throws shoes at movie screens then bring along an extra pair, but you should still go see it.
