As much as I like Narnia, the books and the first movie seem a bit too safe and play out to a much younger crowd, like it's afraid to get its hands dirty or offend the parents. Like in the first movie in the climatic battle scenes, there's no blood or graphic ways the people get killed. You see the sword fights, the weapons closing in, cut away, and the victims collapse on the ground (or the deaths happen off-screen). With LOTR and Harry Potter (in the last three movies), they don't shy away from the violence or play it safe.
But I am looking forward to the second movie and man does Skandar and Georgie look different... particularly the latter. Maybe it's the longer hair that threw me off, but you can tell she's starting to look like her older sister (who ironically played Lucy's older self in the first movie). And as much as I like the teaser poster, why does Caspian look like a character from the Final Fantasy series?

Very nice.
