Yep, I just got back from seeing the movie “Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian” the second of the 7 series of novels made into a film. The original title to the book is “Prince Caspian: The Return To Narnia” of course, they had to change it for the film version.

The second movie focuses on the story where the Pevensie kids from the first one (played by the same cast from the first), return to Narnia again by accident while the kids were waiting for a subway train to come by. An evil King named King Miraz is the new main villain for this sequel who is played by actor Sergio Castellitto. While the Pevensie’s were gone from Narnia for over a 100 years, King Miraz has taken over Narnia, the Pevensie’s must find ways to battle King Miraz and his army out of Narnia so the Narnia people can be safe. So the Pevensie kids got help with Prince Caspian. Prince Caspian and the Pevensie kids worked together to get their own army to fight off Miraz. Does Aslan the lion (who is voiced by Liam Neeson by the way) return to help the Pevenzie’s and Prince Caspian out? You will have to watch the film and find out.

As far as my thoughts on the film goes, I was in complete awe throughout the entire film. I was speechless. Amazing cinematography, and once again the film blew me the hell away. Amazing musical score, the acting is once again great. The film is violent, and pretty much action packed. The film is a lot darker than the last one. The film has some of the most baddest sword fighting I’ve seen in any fantasy film ever. The film was “amazing” and I would say that “Prince Caspian” is the best film of the year so far!!!

There are seven novels for the Chronicles of Narnia series written by C.S. Lewis. Since they already done “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” and “Prince Caspian”, they now have to make the other ones into films in the future. The ones they have to do left are: “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” (which would be Narnia 3), “The Silver Chair”, “The Horse and His Boy”, “The Magician’s Nephew”, and “The Last Battle”. The question is, will Disney make movies of all 7 Narnia books? They probably will I would imagine. If Harry Potter can do it, why can’t Narnia? Will the same cast who played the Pevensie children play in the rest of them? Yes definitely. Because the last couple of “Narnia” books, the Pevensie kids are adults then so Disney will probably want to keep the cast for the rest of the films so they can grow older as the films go along.

I love the “Narnia” series a lot more than “Lord of the Rings” or “Harry Potter”. I love the story telling in “Narnia”, I’m just fascinated by the great characters C.S. Lewis created. I would reccomend you all to go see “Prince Caspian”, such a beautiful film, I loved every minute of it and didn’t fall asleep at all.

Score for “Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian” = **** (4 stars as in excellent)
