Going to the theater I didn't expect to be blown away but to be at least entertained well - but I was wrong. The roughly 150 min movie DID blow me away with a wonderful, intriguing story, above average acting, a life-enriching message, outstanding effects (a far more seamless integrating of the animal characters), and an even more refined music score. Narnia II is a must see and could elevate the series to the likes of Lord of the Rings and Star Wars... after coming out of the theater I felt the need to watch it again and immediately watch part III... a wonderful feeling. Take the time and watch it - especially on the big screen, it's worth every penny you spend.
