The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian is a good sequel to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and a good adaption of the novel Prince Caspian, and overall a VERY good movie. I love it! The film has better action and is more intense than the first one. The special effects in this movie are also higher and better. The acting is splendid, as usual. And the plot of the movie is quite good. While it is rather different from the book, it is quite good in its own right. I personally think this sequel is probably AT LEAST as good as the original - perhaps better! The only reason I gave this one a slightly lower rating is because I think the scene with the hag and werewolf should have been done better, but otherwise this film is a firm winner!

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!

Even worse than the first Narnia film, Prince Caspian must be one of the most amateurishly acted movies I've seen in ages. While in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe you can forgive the child actors of finding their way in the acting world, discovering an own style and making authentic emotional expressions combined with their memorized lines, it is much harder to forgive them for it when there's almost no improvement to be seen three years later (except for maybe Georgie Henley). On the other hand, just like with Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint it takes some time to adjust. For them it also took two Harry Potter movies to get the acting really going. Sadly it makes Prince Caspian hard to watch. There are no James McAvoy and (almost) no Tilda Swanton to cover things up this time. We get Peter Dinklage instead, but that nearly suffices. Especially with Ben Barnes doing a ridiculous Spanish accent. The storyline again is smothered by Christian symbolism and the cinematography by ridiculously bad blue screen effects. The result again is an awful picture that irritates more than it amuses.

In 2005, when the The Chronicles of Narnia book series still became one of the best-selling novels since the 1950s, Disney adapted the second book into a feature film titled "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, & The Wardrobe. When it was first released in December, it received a critical acclaim from critics and fans approved of it for being faithful to the source material. Despite it's expensive budget, it became a huge hit at the box office with only 745 million worldwide and with that, the production for Prince Caspian began in 2007. Then, on May of 2008, when it was first released, it received positive reviews as well, but not as high as the LWW's score.As a fan of the books, I was ashamed for not seeing the first Narnia movie in theaters, but seeing as how I now have, I had much anticipation to see this back at 2008. When I saw it with my brother, we apparently enjoyed it and while I prefer The Lion, The Witch, & The Wardrobe to be the best of the film series, I think this is a pretty good adaption of the book that everyone thought to be the worst entry of the series.Before I would see why I understood all the hatred it had, there are some good things that I liked about the film. The title character of the film, Prince Caspian, played by Ben Barnes, is a fine character in the movie even though he's much older compared to the book. The Pevensie kids are as likable as ever, the Narnia creatures are great, especially Reepicheep, who is a funny comic-relief while serious and even though Aslan appeared near the end of the film, it's great to see him in the dream sequence Lucy had. Now, the villain being turned to a Hispanic ruler may be the reason why this movie received the bashing in the first place, but I actually liked the portrayal. Sure, his accent may have disappointed others, but his motives are solid it started to make me like him.The storyline, despite a few changes here and there, is true to the spirit and tone of the book while having a much darker & mature tone, which makes it very satisfying. The writing, however, is the strongest part of the story. It maintains the adventure elements from the book. Kudos to the screenwriters who made the script. :) The visuals are great, the scenery is beautiful to look at and the CGI effects on the Narnia creatures are awesome. Aside from it's sluggish pacing (I'm OK with two hours, but I nearly fell asleep), the direction from Andrew Adamson is solid and flows the story really well. The battle sequences are great and the music score from Harry Gregson Williams retains the same themes from the first Narnia film, but it has an epic tone to it.Overall, Prince Caspian isn't as strong as LWW and I understood the hatred it had, but I personally think this is an underrated sequel to an epic film. Totally recommended to others who haven't seen it yet. I hope you Narnian fans out there won't hate me for saying this. I just think it's that good.
