Basically, if you liked the first movie, you will like the second. If you didn't, then pass on this movie. It has the same basic storyline (save Narnia), same heroes (the Pevensie kids) plus some additions, the same variety and cute talking animals and basically the same threats (bad guys that want to rule the land through evil means), and the same fantastic special efforts and glorious end battle with the deus ex machina rescue from Aslan. If it sounds like I am panning the film, I am not. I did enjoy but if it seems too familiar while you’re watching at least you know why.The execution, acting, effects, etc are spot on. The violence is there but remains bloodless even though only a really naive kid will not figure out what happened. It is slightly darker but most of that darkness takes place off screen. I was entertained for the entire movie and because of its scale, it’s a must see on the big screen. A good crown makes it more enjoyable but save a few bucks and just see it as a matinee.
