Because of tax credits, post-production was based in the UK. Legally, therefore it qualifies as a British film.

Goofs:

Continuity: When the Pevensies are outside their treasure chamber in Cair Paravel, Peter tears off the entire bottom of his shirt, which would not have worked with a button down shirt because it splits in the middle, to make a makeshift torch. After Edmund takes out his flashlight, the camera once again shows Peter. The missing piece of his shirt is only on the right side. The rip changes again when they are entering the vault

Quotes:

King Miraz: You know this used to be a private room.

They keep getting better

I caught this as a screener and am so happy I did. Whether or not you read the books you'll probably like this if you're into this genre. It's got a bit of something for most everyone; even a little romance.

I found the CGI better than the first. The writers captured the significant parts of the storyline and included some comic relief. There were definitely moments of achieved catharsis with the audience. The actors and actresses seemed to be much more at ease in their roles than the first one and exuded the characteristics of each of the roles well.

I wouldn't recommend little kiddos seeing this because of the violence (no blood just some obvious fighting) however I don't understand why most parents take their kids to a movie I (an adult) would watch. When I was a kid a Minotaur would have given me nightmares for weeks.

Those around me liked it even more than I did. There were maybe a couple of points where they didn't clearly portray the tone of the group or a characters attitude; but that's young acting maybe. All in all, really well done.
