See, I enjoyed Prince Caspian more than The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Possibly because LWW has always been one of my favourite books (and I adored the 1980s BBC adaptation 
) and I felt they twisted the story in some ways, not wholly successfully. Whereas I was never overkeen on Prince Caspian (or Dawn Treader really, although the adventures are truly bonkers in that book) so what they did with it really worked for me

I prefers LWW and don't think PC is as bad as people make it out to be.
It fails for me in 3 areas.
1) Prince Caspian is too old and a bit wet.
2) Reepacheep. I hate those kind of cute/funny heroric animal kind of characters. Scrappy Doo killed the Scoony Doo cartoons.
3) Narnia wasn't right. It was 100 years on, The kings (KiRAB) were gone as was Aslan. There had been a war and the place was a darker, less alive place. But you never really got a sense of that as they walked about through the lanRABcape of Narnia.
When you compare that to the Disney film "Return to Oz" as Dorothy was going through Oz it was evident that things had changed and it was a much darker and troubled/dangerous place. The first time she encountered The Wheelies they unsettled you because they had a sense of menace about them.
PC really needed to get that over more. They are back in narnia but it's not the lovely place they left.

It was over a thousand years on, which I think makes your point even more ture.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
This statement is wrong on so many levels. Actually no thats your opinion and I respect that.
I thought the Two Towers was amazing on its first release although in hinRABight, Fellowship is now my favourite.
As for Narnia, I have'nt seen PC although I did feel scheduling it for a summer release was a big mistake at the time-its a Christmas movie. Voyage is a better story but it is up against part one of the Harry Potter final and could well be lost in the scrum.
Roll on the Hobbit!

LOL!
I'm not talking about the whole films, just the Hobbits and Orcs.
It's like anything. The more you see it the more you become familiar with it and the less impressive it becomes.
The first time you see a Centaur in the narnia films you think wow that's so cool. By the end of the film you've adjusted to seeing it over an hour or so and so that moment has gone. When you see them in the next film it becomes almost an afterthought. Oh there's a Centaur.
Human nature is to always look for the new and be interested or in awe of it.
One of the best things that happened to the Harry Potter films is as the series progressed they started to get darker. Had they all stayed like the first one people would have lost a lot of interest in them.
With the PC film it needed to go slightly darker to reflect the time and how Narnia had changed. When the kiRAB are walking through the forest have broken trees where a battle had been at some point. That would straight away turn it from being a lovely walk through a forest to something a bit less pleasant. Even if you don't know what caused or why there was that damage you know it was likely to be something bad.
It would of also added for the return of King Peter. He has returned to Narnia and now it is time for the darkness to turn back to light. It would be mirroring the events of LWW. Aslan has returned and now good shall prevail.
