The Chronicles of Narnina: Prince Caspian
Prince Caspian is everything the first movie was and more
Review by Sirus
The world of Narnia has advanced over 1300 years since the ending of the first Narnia movie when the four children returned home after becoming kings and queens. In their absence, a group of humans has taken control of the kingdom and banished the Narnians as inferior beings. Prince Caspian (Ben Barnes) is living with his uncle but considered the rightful heir to the throne. When his uncle has a child, men are sent to kill Caspian so that he no longer has claim to the throne. Thanks to Caspian’s tutor, he is able to escape unharmed. Caspian is given a magical horn and told to blow it only in his times of most dire need. When he blows on the horn, Peter, Edmond, Lucy, and Susan are summoned back to Narnia once again to fight and save the day.
Ben Barnes shines as Prince Caspian, giving off an air of royalty at all times. Many female viewers will be watching the movie just to see him and they won’t be disappointed. The same actors play the four children with all giving decent performances but none standing out. The soundtrack is composed once again by Harry Gregson-Williams. Many of the themes from the first movie return while some are given a darker treatment to fit some of the darker scenes. The soundtrack is a combination of epic orchestra, piano, strings, and the occasional vocals. The three vocal songs used in the credits are solid and fitting.
Prince Caspian succeeds as a fantasy movie with many green vistas, forests, and castles to see. There are once again many fantasy creatures such as Centaurs, Minotaurs, and Dwarves along with talking animals. The talking sword-fighting mice are especially amusing as they scurry around and attack enemies while hidden in the grass. The movie also works well as an epic war movie. There are numerous big battles that are shot well and are interesting to watch. While the movie does have a few slow points at the beginning, it moves along steadily and ends with a good amount of closure so that the wait for the inevitable next movie isn’t so bad. Prince Caspian is everything the first movie was and more while being much more focused in its execution.
