We saw the trailer today! I can't wait! I have my ESOL students reading the book so we can all see it when it comes out in May.

It's been a long wait...last June we were at DisneyMGM and went through the Narnia walk-through exhibit (an actress dressed as the White Queen did a few lines, she was great) and at the end, they told us Prince Caspian would be out in May 2008!

I can't wait!!!! I grew up reading the books! I think books turned into movies do a bad job, but the 1st one was amazing!!!! I already have plans to take my friend's two grade school age sons to the movie!!! Two points there...1 so I don't look like a dork at a kids movie and 2 so my friend and her husband can go on a date together! lol!

The trailer totally amazed and mesmerized me. This will totally be THE movie of the year for me. I love the Narnia books- they are my favorites. Although PC is my least favorite installment of the series, I still think the movie will totally rock.

I can't wait to see this! The trailer made it look so good!

Did everyone catch the trailer they aired during the Superbowl? The room I was in went quite, it was pretty funny. I go the chills, b/c I'm a huge nerd

but something about seeing it on a huge screen as opposed to my tiny monitor looked awesome.

Love that Warwick Davis ('Willow'!) is in this movie also. The cast is so strong!

In the trailer, when the kids walk out onto the beach, I get excited because I have actually been there (it's Cathedral cove, near Auckland, NZ) and I actually recognized it.

I hated the first one, but this one looks like it might be good....Of course the first one looked like it was going to be good too, but then I just ended up feeling dirty because of the pedophilic faun.

I liked the first one, but based on everything I've read about Prince Caspian, the trailers, etc. and the fact the children are older, more mature, I think this one is going to be much better. Almost seems like someone could watch it with no prior knowledge of the first one or the books and still enjoy it. The battle scenes look stellar.

Even the book was pretty good about filling you in on the info you missed in LWW if you hadn't read it. You might not get why people are quite so stirred up by whispers of Aslan and the Kings and Queens, but you can certainly follow the plot and fill in the rest as you go.

I liked this movie, but not as much as the first one!

The thing I didn't like was the fact that it really differed from the book some, including a whole new battle scene from what I recall...

Also there seemed to be a lot less of Aslan than was in the book!

The thing I love about the first one was that they stuck to the book, but this one seemed to differ some.

Seeing as how I didn't read the book, it didn't bother me. I still liked the movie, it wasn't as good as the first one though.

Now, my friend read the book and throughout the movie kept telling me "they butchered the book....see this? It didn't happen in the book." So she ended up not really liking the movie.

I absolutely loved "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" when I read it in school. I wanted to read the whole series, but didn't like "Prince Caspian", so I didn't continue with the rest of the series when I couldn't get through the 2nd book...

My husband and I watched it last night and I LOVED the movie!!!

I totally agree. Overall I liked it, but didn't think it was as good as the first - mostly because of the places where it deviated from the book. I did like the actor playing Prince Caspian though. I still do have high hopes for Voyage of the Dawn Treader!

SPOILER ALERT

I really hated the Susan/Caspian relationship. It wasn't as bad as it could have been or as most 'teen movies' might have made it, but it was unnecessary and contrary to the idea of the books. It really annoyed me.
