I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This a amazing, Christian based film. I encourage people to watch it. Magnificent movie! The Pevensies come back not only to figure out that their magical land was attacked,but that they will have to fight some intruders. Some sequences are mild violence, but other wise, wonderful. Fun to watch for the whole family. People of all ages watch and love the Chronicles of Narnia series. I hope you enjoy it!

The first Narnia movie was filled with adventure and magic. This sequel (much like its novel counterpart) cannot match that level of energy or excitement, instead resulting in just a so-so film effort.For a basic plot summary, "Prince Caspian" sees the Pevensie siblings Peter (William Moseley), Edmund (Skandar Keynes), Susan (Anna Popplewell), & Lucy (Georgia Henley) once more called back into the kingdom of Narnia. This time, they arrive at a beach surrounded by ancient ruins. After a bit of searching, and some help from dwarf Trumpkin (Peter Dinklage), they discover that they are all actually in the same place they used to live...Cair Paravel. Only many hundreds of years have passed and Narnia is now ruled by the Telmarines, more specifically King Miraz (Sergio Castellitto). The Telmarines want nothing to do with the "old ways" of enchanted Narnia, and instead rule like a traditional kingdom, where trees/animals/beasts are "dumb" again. The only hope? Prince Caspian (Ben Barnes), a Telmarine himself who just happens to have an intimate understanding of (and appreciation for) those "old ways" and wants to see them restored once again.For a long time, I viewed this movie as a complete and utter disaster. "Prince Caspian" completely turned a friend of mine (who loved "Lion/Witch/Wardrobe") off from the entire series...he didn't even watch "Dawn Treader". After recently reading the novel, however, I came to realize that this movie is only as good/bad as that source material, which is middling at best. Prince Caspian is not nearly as compelling of a tale as LWW, and no amount of movie magic can make up for that.One thing I truly did like about this movie is that it takes a few chances going off the story material. For example, showing the White Witch again (which did not happen in the novel whatsoever). I was surprised when I saw this film was almost two and a half hours long (I think I might have cut it down severely to quicken the pace), but the "added" material from the book actually composes some of the most interesting stuff of the film.Overall, then, "Prince Caspian" is just an average film based on a similarly average book. Try as it might, it cannot escape that limitation.

I am fan of the book series, but I consider The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian kinda overrated. Not like I hate them, but I wish I liked them more. The first movie was in my opinion a great adaptation and much more epic than the book. It's the same with this one, but even better! Child actors are even better in this one and more confident and it's pretty clear. One actor I really liked here is Peter Dinklage, now better known as Tyrion from Game of Thrones, who is amazing as always. The effects are pretty good too, and while it's not as magical as in the first one, it's epic as hell! Story is expanded here and is much bigger than it was in the book (in the book most of it happens in, like, 2 days) and characters are a lot more developed. Also, I loved the Tilda Swinton cameo and it was one of the best scenes. I should probably stop here because this review is a little bit boring because I don't really have much to say but praise. All in all, just watch, you will at least have fun, that's guaranteed.

1,300 years in Narnia has passed when the Pevensie siblings were living in the real world for only 1 year. Contrary to their expectations, Narnia has changed a lot from what they last knew it to be. The Telmarines are a non-magical, human race that have put the Narnians on the verge of extinction with most of them assuming that they are already extinct. A Telmarine Lord, Lord Miraz (Castellitto) is the brother of the King of Telmar whom he killed along with all his sons, save Prince Caspian (Barnes). Now that Lord Miraz has a newborn heir, he intends to get rid of Caspian and hence pronounce himself the King of Telmar. Caspian escapes Telmar and in an act of desperation, summons the Queens and Kings of Old, the Pevensie siblings. Aslan (Neeson) has not returned and the Telmarines intend to attack the Narnians and Prince Caspian and wipe them out once and for all. The movie is a large improvement from the previous movie on multiple fronts. There is far more action, adventure and anticipation than before and the useless and immature dialogues have been thrown for something more mature and needful. It's a wholesome, entertaining fantasy- war movie that young and old can enjoy and relate to alike.
