I rather like the Narnia flicks, and, apparently going against the majority, I prefer Prince Caspian to LWW for its darker tone and more complex themes. LWW feels like a kid's movie (not that that's a bad thing per se, but it's not -my- thing, while PC felt more mature). When I got around to reading it I ended up missing the assault on Miraz's castle...I think I also found the conclusion of the duel between Peter and Miraz less satisfying. On a side note, LWW seems to drag for me at this point; PC doesn't have that problem.
But I'm also a big fan of "show, don't tell", so actually witnessing the battles will always, in my mind, be superior to "And there was a big battle which ended with our heroes winning. Yay!" (barring a total failure in the visualization process, of course)
