The Caspian/Susan thing admittedly made sense to me --
-- stop looking at me like that! --
-- because they were clearly trying to set up the lipstick-and-nylons bit. They missed any opportunity to do that in the first movie; they had their other main chance to do it now ... so if they're retaining that later, and they wanted to lay groundwork, they had to display Susan having an interest of some sort in boys now.
Once we knew we had a not-a-kid Caspian, I was kind of wincing in advance, but they handled it much better than I was expecting.
Peter's brief descent into blame-everything brathood surprised me, though, and the fight scene -- combine that with my usual problems telling people apart, and I was very confused for a good bit of the movie, because I was firmly convinced it was Edmund who'd gotten into the fight. Fortunately, evilbeej cleared that up for me later...
