We thought this movie was really great. It captured your attention from the first moment and really made you feel the inner turmoil of Peter especially having been returned to the "normal" world of England. You were thrilled for them when they got called back and got to return to Narnia. Even if it was to a ruins and not the beautiful land they remembered. The plot, the character development, the fight scenes, and the ending were all very tastefully done. I believe that it was actually a better movie than the first installment. My ten and eleven year old boys were so into all the fighting they were actually leaning forward in their seats!!! For me that was worth spending my money on......
