I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked the first Narnia movie (although I was a huge fan of the books growing up). I was even more surprised to find that I like the second movie in the series, "Prince Caspian," even more. Great fight scenes, some good comedy, fast pace and a nice message. Although I didn't remember the books being so dark in mood, but I'm sure they were. This is proof that children's movies don't have to speak down to children and that adults can enjoy them as much as anybody. Good is good. I can't wait for the rest of the series. And just for the record: I'm a big "Lord of the Rings" fan, but have yet to read -- or see -- any freakin' Harry Potter. Maybe I'll like that, too, but I can't bring myself to watch.
