With this kind of movie you know the ending before going to see it so there is no tension or suspense there. The fun with these kinds of movies is in the interesting characters, funny dialog, cool cgi action sequences, and story that that is interesting. The characters here are completely one dimensional played woodenly by the actors. They are horribly dull. The dialog is virtually without except for the sword-fighting mouse, but that character was just a rip off of the cat from shriek 3. The cgi is pedestrian, the creatures are dull and unimaginative. The action sequences are also boring and overlong. And the producers have basically gutted the Lewis books, and substituted their own story, which is silly even for a cartoony kids movie and not at all interesting.
Anyway, at 224 minutes, this film is bloated boring and unfunny. It's not anything like the first one.
