I never read the books, but I am a fan of fantasy. I thought Prince Caspian was worse than the first film. It seemed to stumble around trying to find a point, and I never did see it make one. It sure spent a long time trying though: at one point I thought the film would be wrapping itself up but then there was another 40 minutes after that. It was a Disney film though after all... As mentioned, the film was completely derivative and lacking in any sort of originality, cannibalizing the first film and any other film the creators could apparently think of at the time...
I look forward to seeing The Golden Compass after viewing these two Narnia films. I have the first book in Pullman's series but haven't read it yet, so I'll watch the film first so it will be an apples-to-apples comparison. Seeing the films does not make me want to ever read Lewis' books...
Edit: Just saw The Golden Compass. I enjoyed it much more than the Narnia films. I didn't see the overt "atheism" theme of the film as much as I saw the overt "Christianity" theme of Prince Caspian though.
