florint-55758 Two stars for the actors effort to work with the script. Completely shallow, no emotional attachment opportunities, just violence throughout. Definitely not what I consider a "kids" movie. The book provides so many opportunities to talk to your kids about life and people, none of that here. Feels like they extracted the action parts from the book, sprinkled a few uninspiring dialogs throughout and focused on the violence of war. So sad. Hopefully somebody will do a remake someday to do these books justice.

jmmustchin The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian is a good sequel to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and a good adaption of the novel Prince Caspian, and overall a VERY good movie. I love it! The film has better action and is more intense than the first one. The special effects in this movie are also higher and better. The acting is splendid, as usual. And the plot of the movie is quite good. While it is rather different from the book, it is quite good in its own right. I personally think this sequel is probably AT LEAST as good as the original - perhaps better! The only reason I gave this one a slightly lower rating is because I think the scene with the hag and werewolf should have been done better, but otherwise this film is a firm winner!

leplatypus I'm shocked, upset, disappointed and angry to see that Disney produces now movies about children as soldiers! Where is their so-called magic, enchantment, family values?? Unicef ranks war children as the worst war crimes but Disney makes it art, fun and just to have more money in their pocket!! That tells you how crazy is our actual world from top to bottom as it's a shame to notice that critics, medias really interested to tell this truth! Anyway this Disney movie begins in the worst way ever, because after the dreamy magic kingdom castle opening, your ears are attacked by a loud, pitched woman scream! Try to find me a old Disney with such violence; finally it sums up well the movie: blood, guns, violence again and again... All the fun, cool, gentle stuff of the 1st movie like the talking beavers have disappeared: now you just have a war academy for children: i'm just appalled to see that all siblings even the youngest take arms to kill the enemy (check the poster too)! And it's the best brainwashing you can have: you can hear them telling that striking first is better than defense and when they enter the village as winners, the populace greets them like the best dictatorship propaganda! So maybe the time when family programs were forbidden to depict guns, violence was better but if i was father, those stinking movies would go to the trash and i would inspire my children with more compassionate, authentic, caring values!

SnoopyStyle The four Pevensie brothers and sisters are drawn back to Narnia one day in the subway. They find nothing left of Cair Paravel but only ruins. It has been a long time since they had last been there. The Telmarines has since taken over. Aslan is gone but Lucy (Georgie Henley) sees him every once in awhile. Prince Caspian (Ben Barnes) is the rightful heir to the Telmarines. His evil uncle Lord Miraz (Sergio Castellito) wants to kill Caspian to claim the throne. In desperation, he escapes and calls the Pevensies to lead the Narnians to take on his evil uncle.There are a lot of expositions and explanations. It's too long at two and a half hours running time with overly long battles. The one on one fight is especially too long. It lacks the poetry or the magic of the first movie. It just never gets the same feel. The White Witch makes a small cameo. Aslan is desperately missed for most of the movie.
