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. END 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) Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - The Chronicle of Narnia: Prince Caspian by Movie Room Reviews The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian is an adventure-fantasy-thriller movie sequel to the classic Disney hit The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. The movie begins with young Prince Caspian (Ben Barnes) being driven from his kingdom by his evil uncle, who kills Caspian's father to take over as king. As Caspian flees, he stumbles upon the land of Narnia and blows the horn that sounds the call for the Pevensie siblings, Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy, along with the mighty Aslan. Along with their new hero, the four siblings return to the enchanted land of Narnia full of mystical creatures and character-filled natural elements. They stir up the Narnians to enage the evil king and restore Prince Caspian to his throne. The C.S. Lewis realm of fantasy and adventure continues in the second installment of the Narnia series. The imagination, character, and charm of his writing combined with the "Magical World" of Disney creates an epic masterpiece sure to appeal to families. The movie is a bit rough at times for little kids (thus the PG-rating) but ultimately it is pretty family-friendly. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Prince Caspian. C.S. Lewis truly has the magic for creating clever characters with unique appeal. The movie is captivating, somewhat in the same vein as Lord of the Rings. There are classic battle scenes, humorous moments brought on by sword-wielding mice and other talking varments. The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince ... Read More Rating: - A fairytale for the family This is one of my all-time favorite movies and one I can share with my kids. They love the silliness and as they get older we'll keep watching it periodically. It's fun to have a movie with bits in it for different age groups but that you can all enjoy together. Rating: - Pure Excellence! What a great movie!! Much better than the first, the action is awesome, the scenery beautiful, the music just wonderful, and the actors were, as always, brilliant. I just loved this film and how the characters came together at the end to fight the Talmarians. There were a few bothering scenes as when Caspian and Peter would fight, but Susan's character was great. At one point it reminded me of Legolas fighting and Lucy looks so grown up and her character's growth from the first film is very nicely done. Edmund fights more in this film and he's also great, his character comes full circle as you'll see and the horse shots were some of my favorites as well. A must buy for anyone!! Rating: - Things Never Happen The Same Twice Disney 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 only "Lord of The Rings" had before and it proves to be an excellent effort. As a sequel it's good but on a stand-alone its classic. This is a must own. Any other negative review only deals with the fact that it's not page-by-page from the book and that it's not as magical as the first ... but really like Aslan said "Things Never Happen The Same Twice" and chances are most of the generic public never read Prince Caspian (which btw is not one of the most popular books and also lacks any real action). Rating: - A bit of a disappointment After 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 of honor and loyalty, as true to the Narnia series.
