One thing about having to teach Film Appreciation is that you are automatically a lot more heightened to all the subtle things the director does. Quite interestingly, for the first half of the movie the actors all wear the same attire as they did at the end of the previous movie. Hard to get that one unless you watched Lion Witch and the Wardrobe in recent times, which I did.
The film doesn't quite follow the book as closely as the first one did though, including one whole segment that wasn't in the book at all. Plus, key dialogue was rearranged, which diminished the religious aspect of the film greatly. That's the only thing that I didn't like about it.
Other than that, the feel of the show was quite close to that of the book, which IS quite dark. The battle scenes were good, but well, resembled Lord of the Rings very much.
So, the first movie laid a lot of ground for this one. This movie was the big battle scene. The next one would be much more different than this I'm sure.
