A great movie that must deal with the inevitable, unavoidable comparisons to the classic book. Given that, I struggle to not prefer the book...so the movie doesn't feel as good as it no doubt was.
But it was good. Special effects are great, the acting is good enough, and the story is strong. I would take something other than the big battle scenes (those just aren't a key feature of the book) - perhaps Caspian's initial interactions with the Narnians should have been further developed. Ah well.
Though I've nearly accepted the fact that I won't get an invite to Aslan's world in this life, it's still a special place.
On a (somewhat circular) scale of The Golden Compass (1) to The Chronicles of Narnia (6), this one's a 4.6.
