The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

Pros: Good acting, good message and great special effects.
Cons: A little slow at first

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. ...

Pros: Exciting storytelling; solid acting; fine special effects
Cons: Continued lack of understanding of Aslan's character and Lewis' vision

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 ...

Pros: Great action and effects, good story
Cons: Nothing major

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 ...

Pros: Better acting, writing, and action than "Wardrobe"...
Cons: Battle scenes drag, 2:20 was a bit long...

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 ...

Pros: Lucy and Trumpkin, gorgeous visuals
Cons: Peter's quarrelsomeness, violence

Yesterday was a cold day in Erie, Pennsylvania. Didn't feel much like summer. But for me, it was the day that the season began, thanks to Andrew Adamson's long-awaited The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, which I'm celebrating by making it ...

Pros: The magic and wonder of Narnia
Cons: Never fully overcomes the weaknesses of the book

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 ...

Pros: Complex story, more characters, good effects
Cons: Nothing for me

This is sequel to the 2005 Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, in which four siblings (Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy Pevensie) in World War Two London, are sent to live with a family friend in the country, to ...

Pros: * Imaginative morality tale
* Practically flawless and awesome special effects
Cons: May be interpreted as a predictable Hollywood movie for non-Narnia fans.

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. ...

Pros: Exciting film, fascinating characters, excellent adaptation of my least favorite book in the series.
Cons: Not as compelling of a story as the first film.

As a movie lover, there’s nothing quite as thrilling as seeing a film for which you’ve literally been waiting years. For this reviewer, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian was such a film. I was excited enough to see this movie to ...

Pros: Well done action and adventure
Cons: some special effects could be better

Memorial Day is a day to honor our soldiers, go swimming, and attend a blockbuster movie. As we had already done the first two, we decided to go see The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. Even though an uncle had given me the entire set of C.S. ...

Pros: lovely visuals, Susan's growth, actors playing the Pevensies, basic story comes through despite changes
Cons: Barnes, the writing, the character changes, two unforgivable mistakes

I wasn't bowled over by t he first Narnia movie, the production stills of Prince Caspian I saw at D isney's Hollywood Studios did not inspire confidence, and ...

Pros: A Wonderful movie for the entire family; excellent production wedded to a great story.
Cons: Perhaps a little weak in some acting by the kids.

Prince Caspian (2008) Directed by Andrew Adamson From the Novels of C. S. Lewis The Pevensie siblings are no strangers to magic. Sent to the country for their safety during the bombing of London, they discovered a far away country called ...

Pros: special effects, new faces, Lucy, Trumpkin
Cons: starts out very slow

Never having read the Narnia series of books I was not sure of what to expect from the movie other than what I saw previewed in television commercials. My daughter desperately wanted to see the movie though so we made this our pick for family movie ...

Pros: Effects
Special Features
Presentation
Cons: Under Developed Characters
Pacing

A few years after the Disney release of The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, Walden Media presents the next in the Chronicles of Narnia, Prince Caspian.  First, a recap. The Pevensie family lives in the United Kingdom during World War ...

Pros: original material is great, wonderful retelling of the Caspian story.
Cons: some plotholes could make early scenes confusing

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 ...
