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) Customer Reviews Average Rating: 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). This blu-ray edition is fantastic. One of the best blu-ray's ever release, the PQ is amazing and it comes with a fantastic never dull umcompressed 7.1 mix. This is demo material and the 3rd disc is a digital copy. Rating: - A Rare Film Better Than the Book In the centuries since we were last in Narnia, things have changed. The Telmarines have overrun the country, sending the real Narnias (you know, the talking animals and mythological creatures) into hiding. The country is currently under the rule of King Miraz (Sergio Castellitto) until his nephew, Prince Caspian (Ben Barnes) is old enough. But on the night that Miraz's son is born, Caspian flees and goes into hiding. In great danger, he blows the ancient horn of help. Meanwhile, in our world, only a year has passed for Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy Pevensie (William Moseley, Anna Popplewell, Skandar Keynes, and Georgie Henley). They are waiting for a train when they are suddenly called somewhere else. At first, they don't realize where they are, but it doesn't take long for them to realize they are once again in Narnia. Only years have past since their first visit since the castle around them in is ruins. When they learn of the plight of the true Narnias and Caspian, they set out to join forces and free the country. But with Aslan (voiced again by Liam Neeson) long gone, what can four children and a prince do? Let's get the obvious out of the way first. They royally changed the story here. And as someone who has never been fond of this book in the series, I will say that many of the changes were for the better. They cut much of the first half of the book, which is the slowest part of the story. They made the battles (yes, they added one) more epic. ...

I think it is an awesome movie even though they didn't follow the book. I think this is a great Christmas gift for anybody!!!!!! :)) Rating: - Loved it! I absolutely adored this movie! As the other reviewers mentioned, it is a little darker and violent than the first, so be a little more careful with the little ones. I have an 8 year old nephew that liked the Lion Witch and the Wardrobe, but didn't like the "scary violence". I'll talk to his mom (my sister) and she'll make the final decision. Other than that, it's great and has a great message. Rating: - Kids keep watching it My three kids don't tire of watching this movie. I'm glad to have bought the bluray version, which is much harder to scratch. My only wish is that they would provide a digital copy for use in the car, just as Disney does for its other bluray products (Wall*E, etc.).
