I absolutely loved the movie adaption of The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. I actually finished reading the book the day before the movie came out, so all the details were very fresh in my mind. I was so happy to go see the movie and find that they stayed very close to the book.
While Prince Caspian was a good movie, I didn't like how they messed with the timeline of events.
But, all in all, they're very good representations of the books. :)
I like the movies although they are little different from the novels...
I like Prince Caspian the most

I don't think that the adaptation of Prince Caspian to film was as good as the first book-film, and I'm not sure why. Perhaps it's my own poor judgment. I did like the movie very much, but it wasn't nearly as "magical" as the first. That being said, it was very nearly close to pitch perfect.
Now I'm ready for the second film -- finished the book yesterday morning and read half of the next one in the evening. I'm looking forward to comparing this second film with the book definitely.
Interesting. I've only this morning picked up The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and re-read it in about two hours -- partially because I recently fell into watching the film though I had intended not to do so until I did a re-read. Anyway, I found myself pleasantly surprised at how faithful to the book they had made the film.
I've also seen the ads for the second film and plan to pick it up at the first opportunity. I have the book on the shelf by the chair to read tomorrow morning. It will be the first read for this one and for the remaining volumes as I got sidetracked after reading the first book many years ago. Didn't read these when I was a child so the viewpoint may put a twist on the series but I think I'll enjoy them. I'm a huge fan of Lewis other writings for adults certainly.
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe: yes, I overall liked it, I think they adapted it pretty faithfully.
Prince Caspian: not so much, it doesn't bother me as much that they changed the story details, but they also changed the perception of some characters, especially Peter, making him seem a bit jealous, immature, and more doubting, when in the book he was steadfast and faithful.
I am still interested to see what they do with The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, so I haven't given up on them yet.
