2.5/4  Didn't make me want to read the book
Four siblings (William Moseley, Anna Popplewell, Skandar Keynes and Georgie Henley) are whisked back in time to the magical land of "Narnia" when the four are waiting for a train.

They find the land, in which they were declared royalty ... (read full)

3.5/4  Better than average fantasy film
A good fantasy film with some good battle scenes and a nice story. Although this one is not as good as the first one it stills is a nice film. The problem is it is just basically a lesser version of the first one with a lamer villain and a... (read full)

4/4  One of My Faves of Summer 2008
I really enjoyed this installment of "The Chronicles of Narnia" because it's vastly different from the first. Its move to be less magical and awe-inspiring than the first is risky but effective because the filmmakers managed to feature one... (read full)

3/4  You may find Narnia a more savage place
It was a definite step back but nonetheless a worthy following to C.S. Lewis masterpiece The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. I must say a darker Narnia is surprisingly more captivating from the first minute to the last, even though you ca... (read full)

3/4  "Prince Caspian" takes "Chronicles" a step back
The formula used in "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe" and its sequel, "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian", is probably not one that the filmmakers had in mind: both movies have interesting beginnings, fo... (read full)

3.5/4  A return to Narnia.
Prince Caspian, the second book in the Narnia trilogy by C.S. Lewis, builds on the strengths of the first film. The actors playing the Pensieve children are much more comfortable in their roles and are stronger characters. New characters... (read full)

2.5/4  The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian Quick Review
So much better than the first movie, but still not great. The child actors still suck, the story is portrayed too "cutsie" but overall it is getting better.

3/5 A more violent, but still enjoyable effort.

I don't think it's a big deal, but I will mention that there is some blood in this movie. Not a lot by any means, and not enough to probably give it a second thought, but certain things gave this movie a more mature feel to it. The movie itself starts off slow, and slowly progresses, but once the first major fight scene comes up it barely falls off much.

The Lion returns in this effort which by the time half of the movie was over, I was surprised to see, and the Witch from the first one also makes a small return.

If you are worried if this is going to be too violent for a kid, I'd say overall it's not. The 1-3 year olds won't sit and watch it that much and the older ones, say 8 and up will find it engulfing and magical as I did. Sure, there is a done-that-been-there feel to it since the movie's first incarnation but Narnia: Prince Caspian is sure to please loyal fans and new fans alike.

The ones I'd worry about watching it is probably the more impressionable 4-6 year olds. It may be a bit too intense for them but overall, anyone can view this movie and take something from it.

Many have said that this wasn't as good as the first, but in contrast, I must disagree. This one had a special flair to me. Both movies may be a bit on the long side, but I enjoyed them to a good degree, especially when the first introduced itself in 2006 and I went to the theatre to see it.

3.75 stars.

end note: No, I don't usually rate like that but this movie deserves it. I was more entertained than not here.

5/5 Better than the First--I Think

Yes, I do believe I liked this version better than the first. It's for my daughter, but mom and dad always check 'em out. Pretty good price at Amazon!

3/5 Defective DVD
  by Cheslea Blake (Minnesota)
Prince Caspian is an awesome movie. It just so happened that the one we received, freezes up at chapter 21. We didn't know that until it was too late to return because it was summer and life was full and we didn't get a chance to watch it right away. I wish we could have one where all the chapters work well since this is such a great story put to film.

4/5 not EXACTLY like the book
  by S. Robinson (Arkansas)
My children and I enjoyed the movie for the most part with the animals actually looking like animals. But, we were all quite disappointed and a little bit disgusted that the movie makers once again had to put something in that didn't belong and wasn't even needed. I am referring to the budding romance between Susan and Prince Caspian. Please! Why was that necessary. Why do children's movies have to fill the need that adults have for sexual undertones (or overtones for that matter)
