Trivia:

In the beginning of the movie, when the four kids go to Narnia, they are in the Strand subway station. In German, "strand" means "beach". When they arrive in Narnia, they arrive on a beach.

Goofs:

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The number of arrows in Susan's quiver, fluctuates in many scenes. It's a magical, automatically refilling quiver made by Father Christmas, as per the previous movie.

Quotes:

Lucy Pevensie: [after Aslan roars in Trumpkin's face] Do you see him now?

Great follow up to the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe

I caught this while on holidays but I won't give any extra details for obvious reasons.

This will definitely go down as one of the best fantasy films of all time. I think Lord of the Rings is going to always be the best but Prince Caspian has really boosted the Chronicles of Narnia. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was great but not groundbreaking. This movie was based on what I think was one of the worst books in the series. It was good but not as good as any of the others. This is now my favorite movie. The action is a lot greater and the visuals have improved as well. The kids are better than they were in the first movie and I really think they will come along way. I also think that when Harry Potter ends the Chronicles of Narnia will be there to pick up all the fans. Overall it was a great movie and I look forward to the next movie.
