The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian [M]

A hundred years ago, when King Peter, King Edmund, Queen Susan, and Queen Lucy left Narnia, a race of people called the Telmarines invaded and conquered Narnia. Now the two lands are finally about to find peace as Prince Caspian, the Telmarine prince who has been betrayed by his uncle, discovers that the Narnians are not extinct as legend tells. Bringing Peter, Edmund, Susan, and Lucy back to Narnia, Caspian leads the Narnians in a rebellion to restore peace and freedom to the land. 

As dazzling as The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and filled with more action and new friends, Prince Caspian is a great visual treat. Not as ideal as the first one as a family movie, as there are more battles and such, but still a great ride.

A hundred years ago, when King Peter, King Edmund, Queen Susan, and Queen Lucy left Narnia, a race of people called the Telmarines invaded and conquered Narnia, forcing its inhabitants to either face extinction or flee into the woods and live in fear and hiding. Now, a century later, the two lands are about to finally find peace as Prince Caspian, Telmarine prince and rightful King recently betrayed by his uncle, discovers that the Narnians are not extinct as legend tells. Bringing Peter, Edmund, Susan, and Lucy back to Narnia, Prince Caspian leads the Narnians in a rebellion to restore peace and freedom to the magical land once and for all.

As a Lord of the Rings fan, I must first say that the final climactic battle in this movie was the biggest knock-off that I have ever seen. Pretty much, the entire battle is a re-enactment of the battles in The Fellowship of the Ring. There is even a reference to The Two Towers! Any fan of Lord of the Rings, watch this movie and then get back to me!
Where the first film was more about Narnia and the magic and wonder and everything, the second film was more about war and politics and that sort of thing. There was no real magic to speak of, until Aslan returns, and it seemed that the film was trying to fit in as many battles at it possibly could.
Ben Barnes stars as Prince Caspian and he has to be one the most beautiful faces on screen today. Delivering a wonderful and chivalrous performance to boot, I couldn’t take my eyes off him from start to finish.
Starring Georgie Henley, Skander Keynes, William Moseley, Anna Popplewell, Peter Dinklage, Sergio Castellitto, Warwick Davies, Pierfrancesco Favino, Eddie Izzard, and Liam Neeson, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian was a rollicking film filled with action, romance, battles, wonderful characters, and comedy. No one that I can watch over and over, but one that I can always come back to every couple of months. A good film.
