The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)

I
think the first two Narnia offer pretty much the same. In this 2008
adaptation of the popular C.S. Lewis children’s novel the four Pevensie
children (portrayed by William Moseley, Anna Popplewell, Skandar Keynes and
Georgie Henley) are called back to Narnia and this time they must aid Prince
Caspian (portrayed by Ben Barnes) in his struggle to dethrone his corrupt
uncle, King Miraz (portrayed by Sergio Castellitto), who plans to extinguish
the Narnians.

The
Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
gave the audience a vast world filled with lots of very imaginative characters,
just like this film. In the first movie there are also great visuals, wardrobe,
special effects, sets and a vast roster of highly imaginative characters just
like in this one. But I think the thing that separates these flicks is the fact
that this second entry offers more action scenes than its predecessor, but that
doesn’t make any better or any less bad. The one thing I had a problem with was
the fight between Peter (played by William Moseley) and King Miraz which could
have been shot in a much better way. Another thing that kind of ticked me off a
bit was the song used when the children were leaving Narnia; I mean my God was
it a cheesy moment. Personally I don’t like pop sounding music in epic films.
Other than all of this the feature is just like its predecessor, a good movie
but not a perfect one.
