Solid, well-written, and surprisingly violent adaptation. Like its predecessor, it manages to flesh out its source material in clever ways. Plus, Peter Dinklage.

Darker than the first movie, but still enjoyable! The production of the movie is really good! The cinematography is beautiful, and the CGI's are even better than in the first movie. Aslan is beautiful, captivating, and realistic as ever! I would have liked a little more character exploration and a little less emphasis on battles - but this is my only critique really. The acting is still good, the story still interesting, the humor still funny and the world still beautiful!

It is also a place that's filled with more life lessons than you may remember, though. Between battles, brief as those interludes are, there emerge some pretty compelling allegories, both spiritual and cultural. At the fore is the assertion that even in a world devoted to reducing stories of God's faithfulness and miraculous interventions to mere myth, we can make a choice to believe. And that choice will, quite literally, be our salvation. (pluggedin.com)

The Lion, the Witch, No Wardrobe maintains the medium-high standard of its forerunner, higher, that is, than the standards of such close-by epic cycles as the Lord of the Rings series and the Harry Potter series. The narrative elements seem somehow to have more heft, more harmony, more resonance, and the individual installments demonstrably stand more solidly on their own.

The religious tone is much too strong in this movie. Even worse (or better), it should really make you question christianity. Why does Aslan allow countless soldiers to die before saving the day with some magic? Why do some get their lives or their tails back, when others perish? It seems that Aslan didn't use his great powers because people had lost faith, when he clearly could have ended it all before it even began. Sounds pretty fucked up to me.

'You may find Narnia a more savage place than you remember," says a misanthropic dwarf to the Pevensie children near the start of Prince Caspian. He's not kidding. Andrew Adamson's follow-up to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005) is, almost as much as the CS Lewis novel on which it's based, a film of battles and fights and military struggle. Gone is the sense of child-like wonder, replaced by a darker, more knotted vision of the world.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian is an improvement on its predecessor and makes for a very enjoyable sequel. Its characters are deeper, its story and themes are darker, and the villains have a devious plan instead of a wishy-washy one. This is an entertaining, action-packed fantasy movie. It runs for two and a half hours but it doesn't feel long. Its action is rather violent and I'm surprised the film got away with a PG rating. If you liked the last film, you're going to like this one.

As well as the Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe the great fairytale with nice epic battles. The good thing is, Caspian is darker and do not have to introduce so much characters as the first film. On the contrary, the plot feels to be more flat and camera not so good and effective. It's good and nice to be back in Narnia and enjoy the fairytale adventures again.

I never really enjoyed the actual C.S. Lewis books, and I didn't really enjoy this movie all that much. The entire series reeks of religious undertones; the film feels more like Peter Jackson's masterpiece with a tad of Christianity dabbed in. The acting is sub-par, though not awful; the effects have all been seen before; the cinematography seems to be ripped from the LOTR series -- this movie does little more than disappoint. A good cinematic experience; but not one you couldn't find elsewhere.

I've never read any C.S. Lewis except for Mere Christianity, which I didn't like that much, and this was the first Narnia film I've seen. I was pretty underwhelmed, and spent most of my time in the theater trying to locate sexual undertones. "It feels like magic!" Yes, my dear Lucy...yes it does.

A step up from "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe" (which I also liked). This one removes most of the cheese from its predecessor and focus' more on the action. Hard to believe they spent less money on this one because it's really a brilliantly done film as far as the animals and the overall special effects. This one also injects a lot more hilarity. Really a great film that I can't wait to see again.

Definitely an improvement over the first one and pleasant enough to watch, but the direction is completely uninspired. LOTR came out less than a decade ago and already the sweeping, music-filled scenic shots were tired before that series ended. Here, they seem little more than a knock-off. The characterizations are fairly blasé outside of the interesting Lucy and a couple of the Narnians.

Although it still falls way short of greatness, I enjoyed it more than the first, if only because the technical aspects - the special effects, cinematography, editing, costumes, weapons, sets, and so on - are all stepped up substantially. And hell, just a lot of fantasy battles. Fantasy battles are cool. The flaw though lies in the fact that I just plain DO NOT CARE about the characters. They could all die and I would yawn. Except Peter Dinklage, he's pretty darn cool.

My biggest gripe here is with these four kids. Mostly unconvincing, they wander around the Narnia world with a sense of importance that I fail to recognize. Maybe the problem rests with the actors. The CGI Aslan and Tilda Swinton make only brief cameos here this time around, and much of the story plods along a bit until the final attack. Some great effects sequences, remarkable looking creatures, but it's too kid-friendly at this point in the game that distracts from the desired fierceness.

Pretty cool. Wish there’d been a little more closure for some of the characters, but the books are guilty of that, too. They’re so busy subversively proselytizing that they kind of use & then discard a lot of these whimsical beast friends without an afterthought. Still, the film was reasonably well made & even improved on the book a little, imo. But some of the Judeochristian messaging remains troubling. Let the kids watch critically & form their own opinions, though. Could be a good discussion.

Absent any exposition, the film can be embodied by the Telmarine catapults of the climactic battle: constantly firing, scene after scene, without any impact at all except to ultimately close the door on the sustainability of the series. It's not that the scenes, or even the performances or effects, are necessarily bad. They just don't mean anythingare utterly insubstantial. A disappointing miss.

Prince Caspian's first half does feel strong enough. The music is good and some of the action is thrilling. Although it shamefully falls apart towards the end, and feels a little too empty to measure up to the fantasy classic that was the novel, or even the first film.

The magic of the first movie is mostly gone. Bloated and exhausting battle makes the run time about 45 minutes longer than it ought to be (and tens of millions of dollars more expnsive). The brief reappearance of the white witch teases a more interesting story than the one we get.

Lumbering overblown fantasy is told with far too heavy a hand, and is absurdly padded to nearly 2 1/2 hours to boot. Pompously self-important dialogue combines with a cast of pretty dreary actors (though Dinklage is good as always, hidden behind a mound of hair and dirt!). Battle scenes at least are competently staged, but with precious little drama or suspense about the outcome, it is hard to become truly invested in the melee. A cold, calculated POTTER wannabe (ironically enough!)

Great source material, but the cast of these Narnian films are not as endearing as, say, the cast of the Harry Potter movies are.

Even as an unabashed fan of the other two films, I still hated this. I'm not even entirely sure why. The symbolism is significantly toned down (although the scene with the Ice Queen is probably the most heavy-handed and forced in the entire series) and the action is more abundant...yet it still manages to be boring as shit. The acting is still awful all-round.

All the main kid characters somehow lost what little charisma they had from the first film, and the new character Prince Caspian is as unlikable as anyone else. It's watchable because it has some nice battle scenes, but you could just as easily save some time and watch those scenes individually online. You'll definitely as close to the good guys as you would have if you had watched the whole film.

I read the books a long time ago, and I remember Prince Caspian being my favorite, but watching the movie to refresh my memory, I didn't see any of the same charm. The movie doesn't do enough to make me care about the conflict that's going on. And I know this is a family movie, but it weirds me out that we have these battle and swordfight scenes, but there's no blood when someone gets stabbed or slashed by a blade. Someone can get basically impaled, but the sword comes out clean as can be.

It was merely boring until Bodysurfing Jesus turned up at the end - that was when it tipped into the "awful" bracket. It's more bloated and over-wrought than the first film. The battle sequences go on forever and I really didn't understand why I was supposed to give a shit about Prince Caspian (or any other character, really).

I was expecting to hate this based on reviews I had read, but it's actually thoroughly enjoyable. It's a bit of a "turn your brain off" film and yes, it does have quite a few little plot holes dotted about, but should that stop us simply enjoying it? It has likeable characters, some great action and effects, and it just makes for a good watch.

Doesn't have the benefit of the sense of wonder the first movie had. Tries even harder to be a Lord of the Rings for kids; many shots are lifted straight from Two Towers/ROTK. Caspian is what ruined it for me; he seems older and more arrogant than I remember in the book. Deviates from the book more than the first, but I can forgive that as the book was a poor entry in the Chronicles. Watchable, but hoping Dawn Treader will be where this series truly shines.

Haven't read the book, but pretty violent for youngster. Story in all was a mess. Tilda was good in her part; similar she acted before.

I think the first Narnia might have been a little better. This is more of a personal thing to me, though, because Mr. Tunmus was my favorite character. It was odd how Peter and Edmund swapped personality roles and they never really explained why. It was also odd that they introduced humans residents of the Narnia world. Wasn't the point of the first one that the kids were the first humans to enter Narnia? The only thing that this movie has got on the first one is the epic battle scene!

This movie turned out to be a comedy - for all the wrong reasons. Firstly Barnes' accent made me laugh every single time he spoke. Secondly when Susan and Caspian shared their little romantic moment I nearly erupted with laughter. The battle scenes were great but it certainly wasn't as charming and enjoyable as the first.
