The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian — 

So I have been a Chronicles of Narnia fan since I was young, but I haven't read Prince Caspian since then...I saw the movie with 2 who had recently read the book and of course, like most book-to screen adaptations, for them there were a few dissapointments.

The most tragic are when the depth and most poignant elements of the book are missing in the film.

But, as a movie, it is fantastic. Well made, great cast, engaging, long but it doesn't feel like it, and appropriate for all ages, if your children are ok with battle scenes a-la LOTR. 

I don't want to give any spoilers here, so I'll just say that amid all the junk in film right now, this one is worth seeing - and on the big screen.
