    Decent follow-up to the Lion the witch and the wardrobe. Interested in seeing the next installment...

    This looks very good, really good, despite my dislike of too much cgi this film does look and feel true. But thats it really, this is basically the same as we've seen before over and over now, with other films like LOTR, Labyrinth, Golden Compass, Legend etc...the final battle is... ...( read more )

    Having never read any of the Chronicles of Narnia I can't say how true the story is to the book but what I can say is that this is one fantastic movie. Meant for children without a doubt but at the same time a very enjoyable watch for adults.

    I find comparing it to Lord of the ... ...( read more )

    Prince Caspain... I love you. haha.
    Come on, it's quite all right. Sheer entertainment with decent performances, decent cinematography, decent score. It's a good alternative to so many braindead fantasy flicks out there.
    Well, C.S. Lewis was not braindead of course so let's th... ...( read more )

    Prince Caspian: "Two days ago, I didn't believe in the existence of talking animals... of dwarves or... or centaurs. Yet here you are, in strengths and numbers that we Telmarines could never have imagined. Whether this horn is magic or not, it brought us together... and togeth... ...( read more )

    Kind of a sad attempt in following Lord of the Rings. At least the first film had a bit of mystique behind it, this film just felt repetitive.

Pete Hammond, Boxoffice Magazine

As with any would-be summer blockbuster, the members of the special effects team are the real stars, and they haven't stinted in bringing this fantasy world to life. full review

David Edelstein, New York Magazine

At every turn, the filmmakers go for clutter and tumult where simplicity would do -- and Adamson, to put it kindly, isn't the fleetest of action directors. full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

Andrew Adamson's The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian is a much more elaborate, ambitious picture than the 2005 The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and it adds up to fa... full review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle

The struggles remain, but [director] Adamson has tweaked the plot, rejiggered the character dynamics and piled on the epic warfare. By the end I had overdosed on surly Peter, pouty Caspian and over-di... full review

Edward Havens, FilmJerk.com

Stands a good chance of becoming the "Empire Strikes Back" of the "Narnia" series: a darker and more satisfying follow-up to an already exceptional starting point. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times

Child kings and queens land in a Jacobean tragedy with The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.

May 15, 2008
Pete Hammond, Hollywood.com

A crackerjack sequel that matches, and in some ways surpasses, its predecessor. full review

May 15, 2008
Claudia Puig, USA Today

Though the movie could have ended a few scenes earlier, it is still a journey well worth taking. full review

May 15, 2008
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

It's a dragged-out exercise, with no epic scale and no spirit worth talking about. full review

May 15, 2008
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

If anything, this sequel could have used more hellfire. You leave feeling covered in a blanket of bland. full review

    Commercials looked better than the actual film. I'll say though, the action was good. Moseley makes a horrible king (and Peter), due to the fact he talks with a gay lisp (it's not convincing). The other kids were good though. A bit dark, though. They could have dedicated more time to mythos, like the LOTR films did.

    It was ok. 3/5 stars.

    I think the movie is pretty disappointing. It is pretty much exactly like the first one, there is no new development, there are no new twists or anything you dont expect. If you have only seen the first one safe your money and wait until it comes out on dvd, much better. Even the fighting scene is pretty much like in the first one.
