I wish I could say that I've read the Narnia book... but I haven't. Sad thing is I'm a huge fantasy reader, just never picked up the Lewis books. I really really enjoyed the movie, I thought the actors/actress did an amazing job with bringing me into the Narnia world. The only thing that seem forced to me and brought me out of my fantasy world were the Centaurs. They didn't seem natural. I remember loving to see them in "Lion" but this time I almost cringed whenever I saw them. But other than that I really did like the movie.

Great commentary Dan! We also loved the books and were wary of seeing the first one but I think that seeing a movie after reading the book is just another extension of the experience you had while reading. I will always enjoy my time reading the book more but movies to me adds another element to it. Love you bro!

"It’s going to be natural for me to compare this movie to the last, and in doing so, I must say, that I actually preferred the first Narnia over this one." hmm, maybe i'll pass this one over then. i thought the first one was pretty terrible in every way. bad cgi, bad directing, boring script... if this one is worse? i don't think it's worth my time. "I say that with a slight, “but” because I feel like in any “movie series” the first and the last are most times (I didn’t say ALL THE TIME) always going to be the better films comparatively, because the first one is in its own category, it’s the debut of a story we have imagined in our heads for years, so by default, it will always reign as the best…until we arrive at the end." this is interesting, because it's generally accepted that in most movie trilogies the middle movie is the best. in the OT star wars, empire is the best, by far. in the spider-man flicks, neither the first nor last can touch 2. same with the x-men films and the superman films. the first movie usually has to do too much exposition, and the second one can really get to the heart of the characters. and usually the third one just gets jobbered for some weird reason. usually that weird reason involves a new director like in the case of superman and x-men.

Matt, you will most certainly enjoy the movie, I promise you. Just don't walk into the movie with your book "in hand" or on your mind, just walk into the movie like you would any other flick...expecting to be entertained and transported to another world.

I think you're exactly right, and that's why I'm almost afraid to watch Prince Caspian. It's probably my second favorite Narnia book (behind Dawn Treader) and I just can't imagine not comparing the film to it. I might brave the theater anyway. We'll see.
