Looks pretty badass actually and there's not a fat rabbit girl in sight.

You mean the gay one with crappy costumes, crappy acting and ugly girls with false teeth?

It will never be as good as the original film.

Bit of Google snooping:

"Lewis wrote seven Narnia books, but adaptations of the prequel The Magician's Nephew and The Horse and His Boy were dropped for logistical reasons, and the epic Last Battle proved too expensive. In the second story, the two-part Prince Caspian, the children are summoned back to Narnia by boy prince Caspian,whose wicked Uncle Miraz plans to kill him and place his own newborn son on Narnia's throne. Peter takes on Miraz in armed combat for the right to the kingship. The story is slight but necessary to introduce Caspian, who returns as a teenage King in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader."

Ahar.

+ The Silver Chair as well, but that wasn't as good.

I don't think I'd want to read the books again now, at the risk of cynically ripping the fantasy-façade of Christianity to shreds and ruining all my nice memories.

I presume you're on about the sunday afternoon programme, i think they did, i have vague memories of it. I've read all seven but i can only remember TLTWATW, the others never really got my attention.
Tilda Swinton doesn't quite strike me as the queen, she just doesn't look harsh enough but fingers crossed anyway.
I have visions of future nerds watching all seven films one after the other and boasting how hardcore they are compared to the LOTR lot.

I'd like to see The Dawn Treader as a serious movie.

Ever, yes.
Bar aforementioned rabbit girl.

I was all like 'omfg!1' when they got all their weapons. It rocked.

And then the Silver Chair / Prince Caspian ones were also excellent, in a more The Storyteller way (god, wasn't that utter genius as well?)

Although they never did the Last Battle for some reason.
Or the other two at the start.

The TV series has gotta be the best BBC kids TV series ever. Maybe the best BBC drama series?

And the Sunday-aftertoon TV series.
Which ruled the world.
