Just saw Prince Caspian. I'm... not sure. Admittedly that was my feeling about the first one also, but that was mainly because it was so similar to the book that it was eerie in parts. This one felt pretty good but a bit too long. To me the religious themes were far more obvious in the films than they were in the book. In the book they were implied, but in the film it was spat out at you.

Overall, it was tough for me to judge because I was surrounded by dipshits who delighted in making themselves heard. There was the guy two rows ahead on the right who munched on popcorn non-stop for the entire film, there were the giggling girls two rows back who responded to my whispered "SHUTUP" with "Stop yelling at us, you're being louder than we are!" and, worst of all, there was a woman with a four year old and a six year old who needed to explain every single thing that was happening on the screen, so we got a running commentary on what was going on.

When I'm Lord and Emperor Over All, it will be legal to take firearms in to cinemas for just these eventualities.
