Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
More exciting than The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian continues the movie franchise based on C.S. Lewis' classic fantasy books. The movie picks up where the first left off... sort of. It's been a year since the Pevensie children--Peter (William Moseley), Susan (Anna Popplewell), Edmund (Skandar Keynes), and Lucy (Georgie Henley)--returned to England from Narnia, and they've just about resigned themselves to living their ordinary lives. But just like that, they're once again transported to a fantastical land, but one with a long-abandoned castle. It turns out that they are in Narnia again--and they themselves lived in that castle, but hundreds of years ago in Narnia time. They've been summoned back to help Prince Caspian (Stardust's Ben Barnes, resembling a young, cultured Keanu Reeves), the rightful heir to the throne who's become the target of his power-hungry uncle, King Mraz (Sergio Castellitto). And he's not the only one threatened: Mraz's people, the Telmarines, have pushed all the Narnians--the talking animals, the centaurs and other beasts, the walking trees--to the brink of extinction. Despite some alpha-male bickering, Peter and Caspian agree to fight Mraz alongside the remaining Narnians, including the dwarf Trumpkin (Peter Dinklage) and the swashbuckling mouse Reepicheep (voiced by Eddie Izzard). (Also appearing is Warwick Davis, who was in Willow and the 1989 BBC Prince Caspian.) But of course they most of all miss the noble lion, Aslan, who would have never let this happen to Narnia if he hadn't disappeared. Prince Caspian is epic, evoking memories of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings films. (Some of the battle elements may seem too familiar, but they were in Lewis's book.) And it's appropriate for kids (Reepicheep could have come out of a Shrek movie), though the tone is dark and there is a lot of death, albeit bloodless. After two successful films, Disney and Walden Media's franchise has proved successful enough that many of the characters are scheduled to return in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. --David Horiuchi

Rating: - 4 1/2 Stars...Fast-paced and Fun
My childhood love of books was first ignited by the Chronicles of Narnia. I was swept away into worlds fanciful, dangerous, and often layered in symbolism. Until a few years ago, I never thought films could capture what I experienced in my own imagination.

"The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" was a pleasant surprise. Talking animals, the faun, and the magic of the wardrobe were all brought to life with amazing detail and warmth--or, in the case of the White Witch, chill. Despite enjoying ... Read More

Rating: - All Violence, Very Little Story.
I know there may be plenty of critical reviews here, but I can't resist putting my thoughts in.
I'm an avid fan of the Narnia books, I've read Prince Caspian 4 or 5 times, and I was so excited when this movie came out. About halfway into the movie however, I realized to my dismay and anger that the movie was far off course from the book itself. It had non-stop battles, there was very little conversation, the storm of the castle was completly off track and never happened. The violence was very upsetting, ... Read More

Rating: - Hideous : I Fell Asleep
As a fan of fantasy in general, if theres one franchise thats always felt artificial and fake to me, its Narnia. The wonderful books have been reduced to 'Fantasy for Dummies' here, with production values and acting befitting a late night TV Special. And not in a good way.

From the moment the movie began, I had trouble staying awake, only because it seemed to be a really uninspired rehash of the LOTR special effects, but only with less heart or interest. All of the child actors are absolutely useless. ... Read More

Rating: - Narnian History Rewritten by Hollywood
I gave this installment of "The Chronicles of Narnia" two stars only because of the special effects. The story really departed from the book and could have been much better had it followed the book more closely. In the book, Prince Caspian was a young boy, NOT an adult. The Disney folks only made him an adult so they could work in a love interest with Queen Susan. I don't object to a love interest in a movie if it belongs. In this case, it was totally uncalled for. Finally, too many scenes were taken out that ... Read More

Rating: - A Well Done Sequel
I've seen a lot of movies lately, but I would have to say that "Prince Caspian" is one of the better ones out there. With thrilling, absolutely dazzling music and cutting edge cinematics, this movie is on the top of my buy list.

I know that a lot of people who've read the books seemed to be put out by the changes that were made from the original story, but the fact of the matter is, we live in a different world than that of when the books were originally written, and I don't like to judge movies based ... Read More
