Summary: 5 Stars
I am a confirmed C.S. Lewis fan. Everyone at school knew this as I could frequently be seen toting his books around. So much so that for my final art project, painting a ceiling tile that represented a part of us that people knew from high school, I did a Narnian landscape. I saw this movie three times in theatres and rented it the day it came out even though I knew I would get it for Christmas in just in couple weeks.
The movie and the book are SIMILIAR not the same. If you are a person who truly insists on book to screen purity this movie would disappoint. But for clarity and timesake the book wouldn't translate to the screen as well. Plus the film explores some interesting concepts with charactor development.
In the book you start off in England, then go to Narnia where Trumpkin tells the events of the past few weeks (and centuries) to the children. In the book this works well but it just doesn't translate to a screen, where flashbacks are a way to reveal something important, not a way to start a story than come back and go forth.
However, it appears that the raid on the castle is the problem most people have concerning the adaptation. There is no such raid in the book. Not even anything close. But after introducing the Pevensies in LWW it would hardly seem right that they spend the first half of the movie listening to Trumpkin talk and taking a hike. Whereas exploring the Narian landscape and its changes in a book is exciting such a thing does not translate well on screen. Your imagination has less room to run.
Peter's personality is altered for the movie, but let's face it the books are more concerned with situation than charactor, at least where Peter and Susan are concerned. Peter is flat. He is just a perfect thereness in the novel. So I was very impressed with his charactor development in the movie. It is valid to wonder how a high king would feel had he been stuck back in school as a relative nobody.
This is not to say the movie has no flaws. Lucy comes off a little too perfect. Peter cannot lead a charge without shouting something 'inspiring' and Susan has a bottomless quiver of arrows (These both come off as laughable). And there is a 'romance' between Susan and Prince Caspian (which is annoying but ignorable).
I do feel it should be noted that this is not a movie for people to take young children to. There is quite alot of violence.
I felt this movie was marvalously handled and cannot wait to see the next one which I feel will make a fun movie that is much more light-hearted.
DVD Review: Prince Caspian to the rescue!
Summary: 4 Stars
I thoroughly enjoyed the first movie "Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the witch and the Wardrobe". The second movie, "Prince Caspian" was more grown up, darker and much more violent. The kids are older, and seem a bit jaded. I missed Mr. Tumnus, I must admit. The action was great, the special effects amazing. A good movie, all in all.DVD Review: What a Disappointment
Summary: 1 Stars
I grew up on the Narnia Books and thought The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe was well adapted to the big screen. However, Prince Caspian seemed to try to add all of the adventures of current box office hits rather than going with the strength of the story. Everything seemed too over the top: the battlescenes, the attempt at a love line between Caspian and Susan, the lack of quality character improvement. Urf. The scenery and cinematography don't make up for the lack of substance. If they can't pull it together for Dawn Treader, this will be a movie series to miss...DVD Review: Better than the first!
Summary: 5 Stars
THere seemed to be a lot of action and it was breathtaking watching this movie. You have to watch the beginning real close to understand the rest of the movie.

END
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
