If you love Narnia, you'll want to see it...
I do love the series. The casting was excellent. Lots of humor mixed in, which altered the tone of the movie a bit. I agree with others that the battle scenes comprise too much of this movie at the expense of plot development. The parts that needed to be developed were thin at expense of lots and lots of battle scenes. Seemed like most of the movie.Lots of laughs mixed in as the characters seek to keep each other level-headed and down to earth:Admirer: "I've seen you. Eating by yourself."Susan: "Yes, well, that's because I prefer to be left alone."Admirer: "Me, too. What's you're name?"Susan: (Irritated disgust) "Phyllis."Lucy, running up: "Susan!!!""I'm Peter. The Magnificent.""You probably could have left that last part off."While those types of lines were delivered very well and added to the reality and human nature of the characters, something desperately needed in a story where the characters don't show as much as they did in the first movie, sometimes I think the dynamics between the characters and the leveling jokes began to interfere; too forced in parts which made it a bit distracting, perhaps.But it was nice to see those great actors and actresses in action once again. If you're a Narnia fan, this provides a nice entryway to return with the fab four to the mystical, magical world where everyday children become heroes and heroines who assume their right to the throne.
