The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

Welcome back to Narnia - albeit a Narnia that is much different than the one we saw in the first film.

Prince Caspian takes place 1300 Narnian years after the Pevensie children last ruled over those lands, and much like their first experience there, the second trip back is welcomed by turmoil and tension at the hands of an unruly and unscrupulous leader.

With themes that are considerably more adult-like (perhaps the movies' storylines are growing with the children), the suspense is stronger, the emotional response evoked is stronger, and the result is a movie that is stronger than its predecessor. I highly recommend this film.

Rating: 8.5/10
