Pros: Good acting, good message and great special effects.
Cons: A little slow at first
Summary: I have a confession to make. I've never read the "Chronicles of Narnia" books by C.S. Lewis. The reason that I mention that at the beginning of my review is that I've noticed a few reviews that point out that the movie and the book are quite different. ... read more

Cons: Battle scenes drag, 2:20 was a bit long...
Summary: It's been a long time since I've read "Prince Caspian." I didn't read the Narnia books at all until I was an adult, and although I love the series, "Caspian" and "The Horse and His Boy" are my least favorite of the seven, and I haven't read them in more ... read more

Pros: original material is great, wonderful retelling of the Caspian story.
Cons: some plotholes could make early scenes confusing
Summary: I saw the Narnia movie a week or two after it came out when it made an appearance as the Mommy Movie at my local Cineplex. So, I dragged my young daughter and met up with a friend. I have fond memories of the Narnia series. I remember watching the ... read more

Pros: Exciting storytelling; solid acting; fine special effects
Cons: Continued lack of understanding of Aslan's character and Lewis' vision
Summary: Perhaps the only thing more exciting and disorienting than walking through a portal from this world into another magical world is...going back. Actually being called back into the magical world again, only to find that, while one year has passed for you ... read more

Cons: Acting is what you would expect from a Disney movie

Pros: Great action and effects, good story
Cons: Nothing major
Summary: I really enjoyed the first Chronicles of Narnia movie, so I was looking forward to seeing this sequel, Prince Caspian. I thought it was actually better than the first movie, because it had more action and moved at a faster pace. The story ... read more

Pros: well put together
Cons: bad camera angles
Summary: This movie was not one that I wanted to see on the big screen. The movie I originally wanted wasn't playing at the theater I was at, so I settled. All in all, I didn't feel as though I wasted my money. I think it was worth seeing on the big screen. ... read more

Pros: Far improved special effects, really spectacular battle scenes and good work from the kids.
Cons: A little slow to get going.
Summary: As a child (probably over 30 years ago now), I read the CHRONICLES OF NARNIA every couple of years. I loved the books, and at that time, they seemed like fast moving, exciting adventures to me. Looking at them these days...they are charming but a little ... read more

Cons: while darker Narnia isen't has magical, Ashlan is to powerful this time
Summary: I went and watch the Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian tonight at a local theater. I watch the first movie and I enjoyed it but Caspian is even better. Like the first one Narnia tells a story of a mystical world that runs parallel to ours, it blends in ... read more

Pros: The magic and wonder of Narnia
Cons: Never fully overcomes the weaknesses of the book
Summary: While the first Narnia adventure (based on the original order) is still my favorite, Prince Caspian is still my least favorite. I find the book instantly forgettable, drawn out, and downright boring at times. And keep in mind that this is coming ... read more

Pros: * Imaginative morality tale
* Practically flawless and awesome special effects
Cons: May be interpreted as a predictable Hollywood movie for non-Narnia fans.
Summary: It was good that it had been over 30 years since I’d read the Narnia books so that there would be more surprise and wonder. My husband and I went to see this just last night and being a school night, the theater was gloriously quiet and almost empty. ... read more
