Amazing adaptation!

I write this review as a Narnia purist. I've read all the books so many times that I've had to buy several new copies over the years. They are wonderful books written for adolescent children, so to transfer the stories to the screen takes truly masterful adaptation. This movie is just that -- a masterful adaptation. There is a level of urgency and conflict missing from the book Prince Caspian (which the film makers added with additional plot points) which made the movie going experience nothing short of thrilling and deeply moving. I also loved the added character delineation given to the Telmarines. Wonderful! The film makers are completely faithful to all the essential elements in the book and use the camera to perfectly show the magnificent visual descriptions of Narnia and its inhabitants. The casting is perfect. I literally felt all the characters I've grown to love jump off the page -- especially the casting of Lucy! The music is also perfect. I felt the theme created for both films so far would have made C.S. Lewis weep. It's that beautiful. I cannot recommend this movie highly enough.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
