The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

This movie despite the critics low ratings hits the mark. In this sequel, the sons of Adam and Eve return to Narnia 1,300 years later to find their lands in tatters. The story follows the young Prince Caspian (Ben Barnes) fight to tack back his throne from the evil King Miraz (Sergio Castellitto). This movie features the same fantasy features of the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. I think it is great what Disney has done with C.S. Lewis’ greatest stories.  In Disney’s classic style, the story works seameasly with the graphics. I never once found my self saying “oh, that lives action with bad green screen work.” Here, we see must less of the beloved Aslan.  The story is a great one of faith for children, we can see High King’s Peters stuggle to figure out how to lead his people, and Lucy ability to keep pointing at what he should but never actually saying it. This is quite hard to translate onto screen from Lewis’ book. Disney does so almost seamlessly. To fill out this all star cast from the first movie we have the addition of Ken Scott as the cute Trufflehunter, and the great Eddie Izzard as the Reepicheep the most honorable of all mice.  

Over All Score (3.5 / 4.0)
