Editorial Review: Product Description: The magical world of C.S. Lewis beloved fantasy comes to life once again in Prince Caspian, the second installment of The Chronicles Of Narnia series. Join Peter, Susan, Edmund, Lucy, the mighty and majestic Aslan, friendly new Narnian creatures and Prince Caspian as they lead the Narnians on a remarkable journey to restore peace and glory to their enchanted land. Continuing the adventure of The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe with more magic and a brand-new hero, Prince Caspian is a triumph of imagination, courage, love, joy and humor your whole family will want to watch again and again. 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 Stills from The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (Click for larger image)
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Things Never Happen The Same TwiceDisney has unleashed another fantastic chapter from the Chronicles of Narnia. Now "Prince Caspian", does not follow the book of the same name as loyally as the first did. Instead we dig in much deeper into the depression of Narnia and get a few spectacular battle scenes. This film is a lot darker and less magical than the first, it is however so much more meaningful. Clearly this movie breaks out from the clean cut "the Lion, With & the Wardrobe". It crosses territory ... Read More Rating:  - A bit of a disappointmentAfter an incredible debut with "The lion, the witch, and the wardrobe," I was a bit disappointed by this movie from the Narnia series. The movie doesn't stick very well to some parts of the book, obviously to flash it up for hollywood. The movie also lasts an astounding 144 minutes- way longer than it should have. It tends to drag on, and I found myself longing for the credits. It's a good story for the kids, provided they can sit through the over 2 hour movie. It does promote good values ... Read More Rating: - Excellent Film Made by People Who Love the Narnia BooksThis is an excellent film based on one of the more difficult C.S. Lewis Narnia books to translate to film. I understand how many fans of the Narnia books could be disappointed with the film. There were alterations to the storyline. However, when you read the book, you have to realize that it wouldn't translate well to film if presented as written on the page. The narration jumps back and forth and as a film it would have been too confusing. I have read all of the Narnia books and of all seven in the ... Read More Rating:  - Very disappointingI thoroughly enjoyed the first Narnia movie in fact I own it. Prince Caspian was nothing short of boring to me & my husband. It was far removed from the book, just a glimpse of Aslan & numerous senseless battle scenes. The Ice Queen got my attention but for just as long as she was on the screen. Rating: - Shades of Lord of the RingsWhile the first movie in this series ran fairly true to the book, this movie was a big jump away, seeming more like a children's Lord of the Rings. Much, much darker than the book, filled with angst-ridden teens (not in the book), an Aslan who is conspicuous by his absence for most of the movie (also not in the book), an unlikely battle (which was not in the book) which left a foolish, hot-headed Peter having to strand Narnians inside the castle to be slaughtered (as if the real Peter would have done ...
