'Prince Caspian'

Prince Caspian Read-Aloud Edition: The Return to Narnia
$17.99
My fellow classic and fantasy readers, here is the book you've been waiting to read!

This book has a great representation of a secret world. It's about four children called Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy who, in The Lion , the Witch and the Wardrobe, stepped into a wardrobe and explored a wondrous fantasy world called Narnia. Now, one year later, the four children find themselves in Narnia -again. They find that in Narnia many years have passed since their adventures. They shelter a dwarf who tells them a tale of a young prince called Caspian, and venture out into the now very different world of Narnia.

When I thought there would be sanctuary for the children to settle down and rest, or a trustworthy friend to depend on, or strong aid to help them on their quest, there was trouble and destruction where there should be peace. The children are always adventuring, and that is a reason not to put down this unpredictable, suspenseful book, and that's also why I like it. WAIT-why am I giving this all away. I suggest that you read the book!

I don't think it's a big deal, but I will mention that there is some blood in this movie. Not a lot by any means, and not enough to probably give it a second thought, but certain things gave this movie a more mature feel to it. The movie itself starts off slow, and slowly progresses, but once the first major fight scene comes up it barely falls off much.

The Lion returns in this effort which by the time half of the movie was over, I was surprised to see, and the Witch from the first one also makes a small return.

If you are worried if this is going to be too violent for a kid, I'd say overall it's not. The 1-3 year olds won't sit and watch it that much and the older ones, say 8 and up will find it engulfing and magical as I did. Sure, there is a done-that-been-there feel to it since the movie's first incarnation but Narnia: Prince Caspian is sure to please loyal fans and new fans alike.

The ones I'd worry about watching it is probably the more impressionable 4-6 year olds. It may be a bit too intense for them but overall, anyone can view this movie and take something from it.

Many have said that this wasn't as good as the first, but in contrast, I must disagree. This one had a special flair to me. Both movies may be a bit on the long side, but I enjoyed them to a good degree, especially when the first introduced itself in 2006 and I went to the theatre to see it.

3.75 stars.

end note: No, I don't usually rate like that but this movie deserves it. I was more entertained than not here.

I have Narnia on normal DVD, now that I have the Blu-ray version I doubt I'll view my old copy again. Love the set.
