December 23, 2008A bit slow going at the start but a darker, Narnia with a solid action packed middle and end that my daughter and I enjoyed. Now they have to somehow pull off the next books which in my opinion were not so good.

January 16, 2012This is an excellent movie. A year has passed since the four children were in Narnia, but they are transported back to find that the Narnia they left has become extinct. They work with Prince Caspian, the rightful heir to Narnia to save the Narians from the evil Miraz. There are ... read more

November 19, 2011This looks very good, really good, despite my dislike of too much cgi this film does look and feel true. But thats it really, this is basically the same as we've seen before over and over now with other films like 'LOTR', 'Labyrinth', 'Golden Compass', 'Legend' etc...the final ba... read more

October 7, 2011The second adventure of the Pevensie kids in the fantasy world of Narnia starts out rather slow. There is a lot of wandering through woods before things finally start moving. The plot is accordingly simple: arrive in Narnia, gather an army, help Caspian become king. Of course tha... read more

June 14, 2011Here again are all the elements that made the original a fun ride, and this movie plays just as well as the first one did. I liked the fact that there is a human villain in this one, and the war isn't a clear-cut exercise in good magic against evil magic. While I still don't like... read more

June 12, 2011Not nearly as good as the first, But it wasnt as bad as I had expected it to be.

May 30, 2011Just as good as the first, maybe better. The action is well made, the story is incredible, the acting is great once again, and they put some humor into it for once. Kids might be confused a lot, but this is a small problem seeing as the movie is aimed at adults. Great movie.

April 23, 2011fb733768972It loses a bit of what the original brought to the table that was so moving, a story that is just as magical as the world they are in. Sure, the same loveable characters are back in this fun adventure while meeting an assortment of new characters, but the fact that they are trans... read more

I am having fun comparing this to the older versions, watching the older versions and then seeing this more up-to-date adaptation is quite amusing. What a read this must of been cause just watching this is quite a trip, adventurous and entertaining.

Adamson barrels the action along in an even-handed manner that should keep most of the family happy. Full Review

Too many fights, not enough magic.

David Edelstein, New York Magazine
At every turn, the filmmakers go for clutter and tumult where simplicity would do -- and Adamson, to put it kindly, isn't the fleetest of action directors. Full Review

Prince Caspian may be less full of innocent wonder than its predecessor, but it is a smarter, better film. Like its young stars, the Narnia franchise has, for better and worse, grown up. Full Review

I wish I could be more enthusiastic about Prince Caspian, an honorable and attractive adventure for children and families. But scenic beauty and spirited action can't conceal its dramatic defects. Full Review

Andrew Adamson's The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian is a much more elaborate, ambitious picture than the 2005 The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and it adds up to fa... Full Review

If you ever wondered what The Lord of the Rings would have been like had Disney made it on the cheap, tossing the cast of Hannah Montana into Middle Earth, here it is. Caspian is two hours and 20 minu... Full Review

What's important here is that Narnia -- and its fascinating all-ages mix of pagan myth and Christian symbolism, of boy's-own-adventures and Round Table heroics -- is back. Full Review

Another classic saga of deeds dastardly and swashes buckled, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian doesn't quite equal the first film, but some may find this one a less-insistent piece of pure ente... Full Review
