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

 Great Narnia movie January 7, 2009
This was a Christmas gift for my daughter. Judging by her response - it was a big HIT. I was very pleased with the price and the fast shipping! We are both big Narnia fans, and Disney has done an excellent job. If you liked the book, you will like the movie.
A step down from the first movie. January 7, 2009
It is a good movie overall, but way too predictable and after seeing the first movie, it was a step down. I would recomend the movie. It was worth the money.
 Better than the first Narnia! January 6, 2009
It was good, but a lot of stuff was totally stole from the Lord of the Rings. Ben Barnes has a wonderful accent even though that's not his real accent. The first part is a little slow though. Overall I did like it.
Narnia: Pricnce Caspian January 6, 2009
My child loved this-me, not so much. Very elaborate and well-made movies but when it's over, I came away with little in terms of lasting impressions.
A Great Movie January 6, 2009
I saw this movie in theaters the weekend it came out, and I enjoyed the movie very much. I had wanted to see it after seeing The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. After I saw it in theaters, I knew I had to get it when it came out on DVD. When I found out it came on DVD, I ordered it, and I'm glad I did. It is a movie worth seeing and owning. I'm looking forward to the next one when it comes out, no matter who's producing the movie.
