Amazon.co.uk Review
More exciting than iThe Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe/i, iThe Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian/i continues the movie franchise based on C.S. Lewis' classic fantasy books. The movie picks up where the first left off... sort of. It's been a year since the Pevensie children--Peter (William Moseley), Susan (Anna Popplewell), Edmund (Skandar Keynes), and Lucy (Georgie Henley)--returned to England from Narnia, and they've just about resigned themselves to living their ordinary lives. But just like that, they're once again transported to a fantastical land, but one with a long-abandoned castle. It turns out that they are in Narnia again--and they themselves lived in that castle, but hundreds of years ago in Narnia time. They've been summoned back to help Prince Caspian (iStardust/i's Ben Barnes, res! embling a young, cultured Keanu Reeves), the rightful heir to the throne who's become the target of his power-hungry uncle, King Miraz (Sergio Castellitto). And he's not the only one threatened: Miraz's people, the Telmarines, have pushed all the Narnians--the talking animals, the centaurs and other beasts, the walking trees--to the brink of extinction. Despite some alpha-male bickering, Peter and Caspian agree to fight Miraz alongside the remaining Narnians, including the dwarf Trumpkin (Peter Dinklage) and the swashbuckling mouse Reepicheep (voiced by Eddie Izzard). (Also appearing is Warwick Davis, who was in iWillow/i and the 1989 BBC version of iPrince Caspian/i.) But of course they most of all miss the noble lion, Aslan, who would have never let this happen to Narnia if he hadn't disappeared. piPrince Caspian/i is epic, evoking memories of Peter Jackson's iLord of the Rings/i films. (Some of the battle elements may seem too familiar, but they were in Lewis's book.) And it's appropriate for kids (Reepicheep could have come out of a iShrek/i movie), though the tone is dark and there is a lot of death, albeit bloodless. After two successful films, Disney and Walden Media's franchise has proved successful enough that many of the characters are scheduled to return in iThe Voyage of the Dawn Treader/i. --iDavid Horiuchi/i, Amazon.com

Awful
Forget the wonderful picture and sound quality and what you get is bad acting and a disjoint narrative. When you see a bad movie, it makes you realise how difficult it is to make a good one. Disappointing.

Even better then the first Narnia film which was great!!!
I read all the Narnia books when I was a child and loved them all very much indeed. At the moment I must say the films so far are doing the books great justice and I can't wait for the next one. Prince Caspian is faster paced then the first film and has these cute sword fighting assassin mice which made me smile alot. One thing I have noticed with all my Disney Blu-ray films is that they seem to have the best hd transfers going at the moment. If you liked reading the Narnia books or enjoy fantasy films then this really is a must buy you won't regret it. br / br /

great special effects, but irritating in places
Loved this on blu-ray - the special effects are great. The story wasn't totally faithful to the book, and we got a bit annoyed with the characters, but that shouldn't deter Narnia fans from watching and enjoying it. Great Sunday afternoon-after-a-pub-lunch film !

Magical!!!!!
I've just watched this wonderful film, glad to be transported back to Narnia. Unlike the Lion.... I was not familiar with the story beforehand so cannot comment on how closely it follows C. S. Lewis's book. br / br /Although a long movie, at just over two and a half hours, no time is wasted in getting the story underway, and it continually moves forward at a comfortable pace. The special effects are magnificent, and are made for blu-ray. The quality and definition are simply breathtaking. Well worth paying the extra for the added enjoyment, and it especially enhances the battle scenes. br / br /Do not hesitate, and enjoy this film again and again. br / br /At least until 'The Voyage of the Dawn Treader' is released in cinemas next year!!!!!
