Not Lewis's Narnia

Completely different than the book. Not just changing little things, but changed big things...like adding random battles, changing the character of Peter and making him fight with Caspian, I won't even get into the romance between Susan and Caspian. Caspian was... Full review
So disappointed...

I was actually a bit stunned as I watched this in the theater! While I know that you can't expect screenplay adaptations to always follow the original work in the book, the changes that were made destroyed the original purpose of... Full review

I was really looking forward to this movie but found myself sadly dissapointed. The film unfortunately suffers from a bad script which causes the film to drag and prevents the characters from becoming sympathetic. The film is visually beautiful though and... Full review

Last warning for spoilers:After falling in love with "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe," I was expecting an amazing sequel from the same people. "Prince Caspian" was a disappointment, however.The changes made from the book were so many and... Full review

Since the Chronicles of Narnia are a series of widely read and revered books I had to give my first rating of a 1 for this film. We went opening night and I was very disappointed and my wife was... Full review

I'm obligated to say that this review contains "spoilers," but I use this term reservedly since I'm not sure this movie can really be spoiled. At least, I'm not sure how you would be able to tell. Einstein's famous equation E=mc^2,... Full review

My trip to new York couldn't have been better timed and I relished the opportunity to steal the march on my friends and get an early viewing on Prince Caspian. The first film is my absolute favourite film of all... Full review

I am a Narnia obsessed nerd, so of course I went to see it the night it was released. I had very high expectations because the first movie was so true to the book. However, with this film that wasn't... Full review

Having just come back from a screening of Prince Caspian, I can honestly say that I got the movie fresh in my mind...and it was amazing! Not only was it better than the first in every way - the story,... Full review

This movie isn't half as charming or eloquently magical as the first, but it engages nonetheless.There's something about the young actors chosen to play the four major roles- Peter, Edmund, Susan and Lucy. They badly make you wish you were... Full review

When a comrade tells Caspian that he could be a marvelous "contradiction" i.e. The eldest, Peter (William Moseley), has developed a nasty streak of hauteur. Big sis Susan (Anna Popplewell) is withdrawn and weary. ... Full Review

Compared to the first film, Prince Caspian feels tighter and more dramatically complete thanks to the increased complexity of each character, but one can't help thinking the movie could have been even stronger with a little more feeling, and a lot less swordplay. ... Full Review

The Land of Eric
Caspian, meanwhile, is more hotheaded and emotional -- which is understandable, considering his uncle wants to kill him -- and this leads to recklessness. In the sequel, "Prince Caspian," the principal actors are a little older and more proficient. ... Full Review

Flipside Movie Emporium
Review by Rob Vaux Prince Caspian fails to equal the first film in Disney's new version of the Chronicles of Narnia only because its source novel was a bit of a step down too. The sequence itself is magnificent, as the Witch tempts both Caspian and Peter Pevensie (William Moseley) with promises of aid against this new foe. ... Full Review

Newsday
If you look at Ben and you look at Anna, it seems really implausible that they wouldn't have some feelings for each other. What's tiresome is the sense that every subsequent line of dialogue, every turn in the action, is being accompanied by a fanfare of 400 trumpets. ... Full Review
