Somehow I managed to skip part two and ended up seeing this one first, c'est la vie.
I guess I don't remember the book well enough to know if the opening sequence was faithful or not, but with any film version of a book one is looking to see it is faithful to the feel of the book, and this one is.
This is definitely a sword and sorcery film, with all the swashbuckling and epic battle scenes you would expect. The FX are typical contemporary, state of the art, the CG characters seamlessly blended.
As with all these long saga's about a group of teenagers who defeat evil the cast age faster than the series can be filmed. In this case however it should work out for the good as the Pevensies should have aged in Narnia for their later appearances in the books, though I seem to remember most of their battles happening in their youth.
Keep cranking them out, I'd like to see the full series now, even the bits where Liam Neeson shows up to be preachy at the end.
