    Boy oh boy what a step down in the series. Andrew Adamsonīs direction has regressed to the point of amateurism, the screenplay is full of plotholes and leaps in logic and the overall feel of the film is rather cheap, broken, unfinished. An intriging premise (a destroyed Narnia, 1...( read more)000 years after the children first set foot in it) is completely wasted

    The sole standout element is, not surprisingly, Peter Dinklage who delivers a typically strong performance as a seriously badass dwarf.

    Even to a non admirer of C.S. Lewis this film was a disappointment.

    I think that I am the only person that I have met who actually prefers this sequel to the original. This film was much darker than "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" which is why I loved it. It seems like more is at stake in this one. As the story goes, Narnia overcome the W...( read more)hite Witches reign of terror only to have the Narnians put to the brink of extinction at the hands of the Telmarines. Narnia seems like a very harsh place especially for the Narnians. I found myself really believing in the transition of the characters from the first film to this one, in other words I bought this film. It is just a well made adaptation of a book into a movie, the action in it is very enjoyable. The actors that play the Pevensie Children are all great and have really grown into their characters. I just enjoyed this film a great deal for some reason, it isn't like I can explain it or anything. But the battle scenes were great and the single combat scenes were spectacular. This movie is for anyone who loved C.S. Lewis' Narnia series, the budgets, and production values on these movies are reminiscent of Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings" Trilogy which also make them a visual delight because you can tell that a lot of work went into making this movie.

    Way too long, and drawn out. This film is overrated, and I thoight it should have been PG-13.

    Darker than their previous movie, but not a disappointment!

    This has more action and suspense in it, and also presents a more mature look at the Pevensie siblings, a year later after they first made their journey into the land of Narnia.

    Peter's character is more hot-blooded, ...( read more)and if i must say, more restless and moody. Ed's character is now wiser, more loyal, and even helpful. I think he also acts as Peter's confidante and even trusted advisor. So unlike his previous betrayal during the last film. Susan FINALLY has something to do other than be annoying and act clever as she actually does battle. The only constant character if i may so, is Lucy, who has always been brave, trusting, loyal, and very cute (even she did grow taller).

    The most troubled character for me is Peter, who appears confused and pressured (even blamed) by everyone. The stubborn Prince Caspian on the other hand, appears steadfast and too confident.

    So much has changed since the siblings had been to Narnia that the although the movie is still very much magical, it's atmosphere is not the same.

    I enjoyed it, even though Caspian's accent made me cringe. The Caspian-Susan romance was lame and unnecessary.

    I finally saw this one last night. I've been wanting to see this since watching The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. I remember The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe when I was younger and was happy when they finally made a remake. I still ...( read more)have yet to read the books. The CGI was kicked up a notch from the last film. The scenery was beautiful as were the fight scenes. I was amazed on the water more than anything. I was in awe when Aslan summoned Odin on the final battle. It may have been a lengthy film, but none of the scenes disappointed. I can't wait for the next installment.

    What do you suppose happens back home if you die here?


    Simple: If you die in Narnia, what do you think happens in real-life?

    I loved the first Narnia movie. So I was determined to see this one.. I thought it was good.. but it's awesome.. I first stepped into the movie expected what I saw really. I knew that the movie was going to be worth seeing. When Caspian starts running from his own kingdom, the horse scene was really fast paced. The story was not drawn out and the acting was believable. And Edmund grow a responsible prince here than at first. They show more imagination and creativity.. and the more I enjoyed when I watch the bloopers... I cant stop laughing.. Lucy is very jolly...In the end of the film when Regina Spektor sang the soundtrack "No need to say goodbye" I feel sad, I really feel it..the impact of the song make me sad.. I hate leaving..
    Big why? Why they compare this to LOTR. They are different.... LOTR is LOTR ....Narnia is Narnia..

    This sequel could've been betterly prepared, shot, acted and choreographed, bit it wasn't. However, the special effects are stunning and the characters are lovable and likeable. I hope this franchise keeps getting better and better, specially when we are expecting The Voyage of t...( read more)he Dawn Treader with a different director. The problem with this film is that it lacked the charm of the original and fell a lot into typical cliches normally found in these kind of films.

    Pretty decent. I like the way that although it is similar to Lord of the Rings and other I suppose war/action movies, that it is way different in that their is no blood and guts.

    This on surprised me somewhat. I had my mind set for kitsch and schmultz but what I got was a gripping tale of fantasy and heroism. I was pleasantly surprised by how faithful the film was to Lewis' novel, even to the point of upholding the Christian theme that underlies the entir...( read more)e Chronicles series.

    Four siblings (William Moseley, Anna Popplewell, Skandar Keynes and Georgie Henley) are whisked back in time to the magical land of "Narnia" when the four are waiting for a train.

    They find the land, in which they were declared royalty hundreds of "Narnia's" years before, in r...( read more)uins.

    They eventually learn that the prince (Ben Barnes) of the neighboring "Telmar" summond them with a magical horn, and decide to help him get to the throne as he was destined.

    However, the uncle (Sergio Castellitto) of the prince, who is king of "Telmar", wants the prince dead. But, the siblings and the prince rally the "Narnians" into battle.

    Let me say this first that this, and the last one in the series I watched (I think it was the first movie in the series, but that was long ago) is not making me want to read the books they are based on. I usually lean more toward science-fiction than fantasy, so that could be the reason as to why I don't want to read the source material.

    I found the story long, and dragged on fairly slow. However, it never slowed to a crawl. In fact, though the pace was pretty slow, it was just fast enough to keep you from getting too bored. The begining of the movie was really slow, and made me want to turn it off. However, once the siblings got to "Narnia," the movie's pace picked up to something more bareable.

    I wasn't really impressed with the performances in the movie, but the actors did a fine job. I did like how the chemistry between the actors worked out, especially those who were in the previous film.

    One thing that must have looked amazing on the big screen was the scenery and special effects. From what I have read about this film, a good majority of the film's budget went to the special effects -- of which there is alot. In fact, this film heavily relies on special effects.

    In this film, you get scenery that would be impossible, if not too expensive to make. You also get at least 99% of the cast as CGI characters.

    I usually hate characters made entirely by a computer, but the ones in this film are simply the best I've seen. Usually, human actors aren't looking into the CGI characters' eyes when they are together on screen. However, it appeared to me that the CGI characters are lined up perfectly.

    The only downside of the CGI characters is that hair and fur do not look realistic ever. Look at the animals in this film on close-ups, and you will see what I mean. This is especially evident with the lion "Aslan" (voiced by Liam Neeson). In close-ups, the fur on his body, not to mention his eyes, don't look realistic. However, the animation is amazing with all these characters.

    The voice actors worked very well, including scenes with real people. Many times, I forgot that I was looking at a talking lion or mouse. I have to give props to the human actors who had to perform with the CGI characters. Their performances helped bring the CGI characters into reality really well.

    I wasn't really impressed with character development with new characters in this film. The lead villain had only enough screen time to explain to the audience why he does what he does, but he doesn't get enough time on-screen to develop in a way to where you would not like him the instant he returns to the screen.

    If I remember correctly, the actors portraying the siblings were pretty bad in the first film. There was some big improvement, especially with the youngest actors. If you ask me, the human actors really didn't stand out from each other.

    Wardrobes in this film were great in this film. Human clothing mainly consisted of darker tones. There were no brightly colored outfits that stood out like a sore thumb. The clothing seemed to be really accurate for the time period.

    The action was spread out through the entire film. None of which built to the battle between the forces of good and evil. There was one major battle, followed by a sword fight that was really hurt by it being placed right after the battle.

    Because the world of "Narnia" is over a thousand years ago, you deal with weaponry that does produce blood. However, there is no blood where there should be. Parents will not have to worry about any serious amounts of blood, nor will they worry about any foul language.

    Except for one particular piece of music, I really don't remember the soundtrack in this film. I do remember one song near the end of the movie because it's the only one I noticed with singing. Most of the music is just insrumentals that did help enhance the scenes. It was nothing memorable though.

    Catch this on HBO if there is nothing else on. This movie, in my opinion, is not good enough to skip a favorite television program over. It almost comes close though.

    I have never expected the second part will be such a worst one comparing to the first one... They haven't showed aslan for 2 hrs in this film and that one made a big drawback for this film even a lot of irritation by that small girl acting and angers made me to get out of the fil...( read more)m sooner...This film is the worst film and it made a lot minus points for the next upcoming parts and i don't think the next part will be there... useless 2nd part and useless Caspian story...The animation and the war was good but the adventure is not at all good as if this part had more more dialogues which made me really fainted for the dialogue script and it annoyed a lot... There was nothing big in this film comparing to the first one a useless one and very pathetic one....i don't like this part as if the director cheats us showing aslan only for 10mins... That is ridiculous...

    Every one said this was horrible, but it wasn't as terrible as I thought it would be. Of course there wasn't really much substance besides rescue scene and epic battle with lots of fortune cookie sentiments about learning to get along in between. At least the little girl didn't c...( read more)ome off as a creepy goblin crackhead this time. But the accents were horrible, and I never understood the urgent need for people to return to the normal world (Oz, Wonderland, Narnia, etc.)- "We're not coming back because we've learned all we can here"??? Okay, so maybe it has more to do with the book than the movie, but still.
