I loved it as did my DS. It has been a while sense I read the book but I thought the romance with Susan & Caspian was in the book, just not as much as the movie. I cry every time I see Aslan...I will stop here before I ruin it for people who haven't seen it yet! DH had to leave the theatre with DD who wanted to run wild instead of watch, so I can't wait to go back and see it again with him...bringing tissues this time!
PackerBeth-I would say the call is all up to you! As in all movies the book is better and I think you will still want to finish the book after seeing the movie. Sometimes I prefer to see the movie first, or have a gap between the two so I'm not as hard on the movie not being as I imagined it would be.
As for me, I loved it! But I am totally rereading the books again.
Cavey, I too agree that the frolicking was missed.
DS has now decided he needs to "really" read the book b/c of all the ?he threw at me while I tried to watch the movie!
