The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian Cinema Review
July 31, 2008 – 9:36 am | by Lianne Jones
Prince Caspian is an entertaining watch with plenty of action and excitement but, as sequels go, this isn’t the best. The film is overshadowed by The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and will fail to live up to the popularity of the original release.
The film sees the Pevensie children return to Narnia as Kings and Queens after 1,300 Narnian years. They find a completely different world to the one they left and have to battle to restore harmony. They come across the rightful heir to the throne, Prince Caspian, who is in hiding as his uncle is out to kill him. They have to fight to help him to his rightful position in order to bring the magic back to Narnia.
The array of different creatures in the film makes an interesting watch as they have to work together to save Narnia and the battle scenes that take place are riveting. However, the acting of the Pevensie children often leaves a lot to be desired and the character of Lucy is the only real star out of the four of them.
All in all, Prince Caspian will be a summer hit with both children and adults, but it won’t meet the standards the audience will be expecting.
