So I just got back from it myself Any thoughts?
As a big fan of the first film, and someone who's never read the books (yes, I am a heathen) I must say, while I enjoyed it, I was a tad disappointed, and felt it didn't have as much thought put into it as the first, primarily in how abruptly they ended up back in Narnia and it jumped right into the fighting...very little buildup. In fact, it felt like 80% of the film WAS just fighting, not that that's necessarily bad but...I just don't feel like it reflected the beauty of the first film. Maybe it could just be reflecting the book, I dunno.
Anyway, the theater was over packed, even in my tiny rural community, so I imagine at least a handful of people here have seen it by now. :D
