The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe was an action-packed, if too long movie that was entertaining, even if it didn't quite reach the heights it set out to achieve. This sequel, Prince Caspian, loses much of the action and entertainment that drove the first one, and doesn't reach the heights it sets out. It's the biggest disappointment of the year.
Peter, Lucy, Edmund and Susan are four children whose previous adventure to a magical kingdom named Narnia left them kings and queens of that land, and a year passes and they are mysteriously thrust into Narnia again. But whilst a year passed for them, 1300 passed for Narnia, and it has been thrust into chaos and violence.
They meet a prince named Caspian whose evil uncle has tried to have him killed, and together they form an army to rebel against the corrupt kingdom and restore Narnia to peace and tranquility. But things are not so simple, and prove quite deadly for all things good...
It seemed destined for another sequel to happen, for the original was a good movie and made $750 million. But after this, they should either make the next Narnia a masterpiece or leave the franchise dead in the water. The dialogue is wooden, the action sequences stale and it doesn't follow the book, which was a major strength of the first.
I'm sorry, I love fantasy franchises as much as the next person, but this one is close to dead in the water. C-
