That’s the whole view of “The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian,” a agreeable sequel to “The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe.” While it has a climax that goes on Device too long, this movie shows us the darker side of C.S. Lewis’ fantastical world — with a heavy dose of Shakespearean villains, political intrigue, and some spectacularly record battles.
It’s been 1,300 years in Narnia, and the human Telmarines have invaded and driven the native Narnians underground. Aslan hasn’t been seen in centuries.

And when King Miraz’s (Sergio Castellitto) wife gives birth to a baby boy, his nephew — the rightful heir — becomes an obstacle. Young Prince Caspian (Ben Barnes) flees from his treacherous uncle, and is discovered by a band of Narnians. Along the scheme, he accidentally ends up summoning the conventional Kings and Queens of Narnia — also known as the Pevensie children, who were waiting at a drawl situation when they were unexpectedly sucked trough a tunnel.
Though initially gay to have returned to Narnia, the Pevensies are vexed when they rep that their once-idyllic land has been nearly destroyed. Caspian has been organizing a ramshackle army of native Narnians, but Peter (William Moseley) finds that fighting an organized, armed force is very different from battling the White Witch. And after a disastrous attack, the Narnians are facing almost obvious destruction — but Lucy (Georgie Henley) is convinced that Aslan can somehow build them, and restore the kingdom to Prince Caspian….
“Prince Caspian” is definitely a darker sage than its predecessor — honorable guys die, coups fail, imperfect machinations succeed, the castles are grimy, some of the helpful guys turn poor for exact, and a bleak, hopeless feeling suffuses considerable of the movie’s second half. Even our heroes have to deal with their doubts and inflame, especially since Aslan is conspicuously absent for 95% of the entire film.
And if the first film was a shining fantasy adventure, then this one is a military epic with all the distinguished action trappings — spectacular aerial drops, castle-wide massacres, and a spectacular finale lively a massive pit, tree roots, a river, and catapults. But Adamson also packs in as worthy violence as a PG-rated movie can possess — while there’s only a few drops of accurate gore, there’s plenty of beheadings, shootings and stabbings.
But Narnia itself has lost none of its charm, and Adamson lingers lovingly on the sunlit forests and calm rivers for as long as he can. And though the fable is grim, he sprinkles it with plenty of humor (the bound-and-gagged cat) and fairly mercurial dialogue. One of the most spectacular scenes involves a very familiar character speaking from inside a sheet of gleaming ice, as Caspian is dragged into a necromancer’s ritual. It’s really rather creepy.
Problems with the movie? Well, the climactic battle drags on for a LONG time, and every time you contemplate it’ll ruin, it revs succor up. And those masked soldiers are a wee bit too reminiscent of “300′s” Persians.
The four Pevensie actors all do solid jobs, although William Moseley is the standout — Peter is struggling with doubt and a bit of alpha rivalry, especially since he’s obsolete to being Narnia’s top dog. Barnes starts off a tiny stiffly — near on, where’s the horror when you glimpse your bed turned into a pincushion? — but soon grows into the difficult role of a Hamlet-like prince who is struggling to become both a Narnian friend and a Telmarine king.
But there’s a shapely intellectual supporting cast as well: Castellitto is simply outstanding as the ruthless, icy-cold Miraz, as are Damián Alcázar and Pierfrancesco Favino as his scheming advisors. Warwick Davis does a low-key, malevolent turn as Nikabrik, while Peter Dinklage is the likably brusque, cynical Trumpkin. And Eddie Izzard is marvelous as the mousy swashbuckler Reepicheep — this could have a comic, comic-relief character, but he does kill up being both adorable and formidable.
There are going to be two versions of the “Prince Caspian” release in either blu ray or regular versions. The more embellish DVD version basically has the film, plus an extra bonus disc with the stuff you’d interrogate in such a movie: bloopers, deleted scenes, and a series of featurettes about the making of the movie — previsualization, fight choreography, sets, special effects, and the guys who play the dwarves Trumpkin and Nikabrik. As for the third disk, it’s going to be a downloadable digital version of the movie.
“Prince Caspian” drops the children’s fantasy feeling, in favor of a darker, more militaristic account — especially with all that father-murder stuff. But despite its darker overtones, it never forgets the light side.
In the very slim chance that Disney reads these reviews, I’d like to pile on to other criticisms in the hope that the Dawn Treader doesn’t develop the same mistakes. As a great C.S. Lewis and Narnia fan, I was so disappointed in Caspian. Same reasons as many other reviewers: too many unnecessary liberties taken; shrimp dialogue, so very itsy-bitsy draw to connect with and appreciate the characters; too grim; etc. At the extinguish of the movie, I felt like I didn’t salvage to employ any time with the characters b/c most of the movie was some sort of battle.
Sure, there were a few capable things. Reepicheep was great; so was the DLF. The scenery and landscapes were pleasing. Some of the battles (or parts of battles) were exquisite and had a sense of honor and bravery. But that’s about it. Caspian was okay, a minute expressionless. The posturing between Peter and Caspian was amusing, as was the flicker of romance between Caspian and Susan. Not enough of Aslan. Not enough of Lucy. No lessons. Nothing anywhere advance the charm of Mr. Tumnus.
You know how at the extinguish of some movies (kindly ones) you have that feeling like you want more of a worthy thing? You wish the movie would go on and on? (That’s why I ripped through all the Narnia books in the first spot.) Well, after watching Caspian, I had a feeling of wanting more of what I knew existed in the book but didn’t reach through in the movie…it was a yearning for what could have been instead of what was delivered. It was a sizable disappointment and a sincere shame. And I truly hope the Dawn Treader can stammer what the first movie did, and what the books all do….a precise connection to the characters and a reason to inaugurate thinking about what it means to occupy in something and to stand up for your beliefs. I don’t believe that understanding is incompatible with making a block-buster of a movie.
