This movie is far more violent than the the first Narnia. This movie seems to be trying to attact an older crowd. My 21 year old really enjoyed it but my 8, 10, and 12 year olds were jumping at alot of the scenes. They did enjoy seeing the characters return from The Witches and the Wardrobe. It seemed to be all about war and there didn't seem to be a clear meaning to the story, as in the first one.
