Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
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 Miraz (Sergio Castellitto). And he's not the only one threatened: Miraz'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 Miraz 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 version of 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, Amazon.com

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - If You Liked Lord of the Rings
You'll love this movie. I know I was not the only one to sit through it ticking off the blatant parodies of Peter Jackson's LotR films on their fingers. The rescues from high towers by flying... well, they're gryphons, not eagles (but you see my point) against a stormy backdrop of clouds, the defiant flight from groups of black riders across fords... Don't get me wrong, I found my personal game of "Spot the Similarities" deeply enjoyable, but if you're looking for something deeply original in fantasy book-to-film cinema, this may not be your cup of tea.

The action's good. I was surprised by how much darker this film was than I remembered either the book or the original BBC televisation. I haven't seen the first of the new Narnia films, so I can't comment there. But there is a definite grim element to this film, so it's definitely not just entertaining to children. Adults should not be put off.

The cast are excellent. The effects are tasteful. The soundtrack is a triumph - I bought it pretty much the first day I saw the film (and I saw it three times at the cinema, which tells you how high my regard IS for this film).

The only thing that gives me pause is that I don't really feel I NEED a two disc special edition. I'd be perfectly happy with the film alone, on one disc. But this is a problem I have with a lot of DVD production, and not specific to this film. That said, if anyone could point me to a single disc edition, I'd be grateful.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Prince Caspian
In 'Prince Caspian' we return to an altered and savage Narnia and more fantasy adventure to delight the family. You get great affects, battle scenes, talking animals and a pretty close rendition of the book. I have to say that I found this more enjoyable than 'The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe' with the slightly darker elements to the story fitting the fantasy adventure theme a lot better. The children stars of this film annoy me as actors and Prince Caspians accent reminded me of Puss in Boots from Shrek at times, but overall the acting was OK and didn't detract from the story. It manages to achieve what it set out to, that is, a fun family adventure and manages to keep you interested and watching for the duration, which didn't feel overly long as the story kept pushing forward. A good film that is worth watching if you were a fan of the first installment or of fantasy films in general.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - The worst film ever made
Now you all have seen Narnia 2 and that was abismal this film has sunk to a whole new level of pants. The Novel was or would have been 20x better then the film i grantee. I was so bord in the cinema that started chucking food (Popcorn) around the room and this old man who was around 70 by his looks and he gave me evils. Now this film is worse then enchanted and Jaws 4 and even the grudge. I would raver bye the film Doggy Poo! Its that bad I give this poor film 1/5 atchualy i must this is so bad its like watching High school mucisal! So Bad I would rather die then watch it again. I din't buy this poor exsuse for a film i was forced to see it and i really hated it and the reason i looked it up was to tell you it was abismal, so here i go! IT WAS ABISMAL



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Dire rubbish
I realise this is a childrens film... but it's dire. Like scream out loud dire. And long enough to make you wonder 'why did I just waste a significant part of my life to this?' The first half is pretty decent but then come the battle scenes. Moronic tosh. Oh so many pregnant pauses - mid battle - while people stop and gaze in to the distance... so many blatant copies of Lord Of The Rings scenes but without the style or competence... so many opportunities to kill the bad guy which are not taken... I walked away from the TV multiple times because it was, well, so crap. Frustrating crap at that. Avoid at all costs and watch LOTR instead.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of the Best films I've seen in years
Not a young kids film but adults to 9 year olds will love it and play it again and again. The best fantasy adventure film since the Lord of the Rings trilogy and at times it is better than LOTR.

I got this for my 3 boys (10-12) for Christmas. We sat down to watch it and from the open sequence it is all out action with numerous twists and turns, that even I as a lifelong fan of the books was surprised constantly through the 2 hours and 20 odd mins with.

Its not a faithful adaption of the book but close enough but the changes to the original tale really work tremendously well and make this yarn exciting and surprising from start to finish.

The effects are as good as the best CGI and the characters superb, with many of them acting their socks off. I love the telmerine Lord Protector and his General and Lords, they really get the machiavellian aspect of the Court and its intrigues just right.

Prince Caspian and the young Kings and Queens are tremendous as well with just the right amount of seriousness and laughs. The other characters such as the dwarfs, centaurs and Reepicheep the mouse, well words fail me fantastic again.

Oh and lets not forget the White Witch who makes a quite seductive and scary entry for a short period.

This is a dark story with some real tear jerking moments and many awesome battle scenes.

The Lion,Witch,Wardrobe was tame for me, this is so very much better and quite honestly ... Read More
