DVD Reviews of The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince CaspianDVD Review: good Summary: 4 Starsi like the dvd a lot. however, the return kinda sucks. i got very little money back.
DVD Review: Wretched Summary: 1 StarsC.S. Lewis has to be rolling over in his grave, as this pathetic adaptation abandons his story early on and turns into a smarmy, boring CGI exercise. Pointless battles, pointless special effects, flat characters, ridiculous dialog and no sense of wonder at all. The film invents half baked soap opera subplots that go nowhere. I can't imagine a worse film adaptation. Prince Caspian is the weakest of the Narnia books, but it is a jewel compared to this dreck.
DVD Review: Review of Prince Caspian Summary: 5 StarsThe DVD came in very timely fashion, and in very good shape. Thanks for the great service!
DVD Review: Another Excellent C.S. Lewis Adventure Summary: 4 StarsChronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian was another solid movie in the Narnia series. The same favorite characters are intertwined in another excellent story that takes place only 1 year in real world time and hundreds of years in Narnian time from the Lion, Witch and Wardrode. The epic takes us on a journey where Narnia is completely different than it once was. Now it is essentially a world in the Middle Ages with conflict rising because of the lack of leadership in Narnia.
The journey is very different from the first which is great because it is a completely new world that we haven't seen. It is not like Lord of the Rings where it is simply a continuation of the story. Aslan does not show up nearly as often as the children battle each other on whether or not Aslan has left them to take care of everything on their own.
It is another great adventure and well worth the time spent watching.
DVD Review: Just Okay Summary: 3 StarsHaving loved the first movie I thought this was going to be 10? better. To be honest this movie really wasn't all that good. Prince Caspian accent through me off and the movie seemed to drag at times. It wasn't that enjoyable and Edmund seemed more adult than Peter. He showed more leadership and confidence when Peter and Caspian were whining he seemed more mature and was the only person who had character growth. Peter on the other hand thought he was always right and made a costly decision being stubborn.
Description of The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince CaspianThe magical world of C.S. Lewis beloved fantasy comes to life once again in Prince Caspian, the second installment of The Chronicles Of Narnia series. Join Peter, Susan, Edmund, Lucy, the mighty and majestic Aslan, friendly new Narnian creatures and Prince Caspian as they lead the Narnians on a remarkable journey to restore peace and glory to their enchanted land. Continuing the adventure of The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe with more magic and a brand-new hero, Prince Caspian is a triumph of imagination, courage, love, joy and humor your whole family will want to watch again and again. More exciting than The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian continues the movie franchise based on C.S. Lewis' classic fantasy books. The movie picks up where the first left off... sort of. It's been a year since the Pevensie children--Peter (William Moseley), Susan (Anna Popplewell), Edmund (Skandar Keynes), and Lucy (Georgie Henley)--returned to England from Narnia, and they've just about resigned themselves to living their ordinary lives. But just like that, they're once again transported to a fantastical land, but one with a long-abandoned castle. It turns out that they are in Narnia again--and they themselves lived in that castle, but hundreds of years ago in Narnia time. They've been summoned back to help Prince Caspian (Stardust's Ben Barnes, resembling a young, cultured Keanu Reeves), the rightful heir to the throne who's become the target of his power-hungry uncle, King Mraz (Sergio Castellitto). And he's not the only one threatened: Mraz's people, the Telmarines, have pushed all the Narnians--the talking animals, the centaurs and other beasts, the walking trees--to the brink of extinction. Despite some alpha-male bickering, Peter and Caspian agree to fight Mraz alongside the remaining Narnians, including the dwarf Trumpkin (Peter Dinklage) and the swashbuckling mouse Reepicheep (voiced by Eddie Izzard). (Also appearing is Warwick Davis, who was in Willow and the 1989 BBC Prince Caspian.) But of course they most of all miss the noble lion, Aslan, who would have never let this happen to Narnia if he hadn't disappeared. Prince Caspian is epic, evoking memories of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings films. (Some of the battle elements may seem too familiar, but they were in Lewis's book.) And it's appropriate for kids (Reepicheep could have come out of a Shrek movie), though the tone is dark and there is a lot of death, albeit bloodless. After two successful films, Disney and Walden Media's franchise has proved successful enough that many of the characters are scheduled to return in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. --David Horiuchi
