The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

So I just saw The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, “a 2008 fantasy film based on Prince Caspian, the … published novel in C. S. Lewis’ children’s fantasy series.”

I give it four stars (out of four), and you could make a good case for it being better than the first movie. Having just read the book, it was obvious where the differences were. As a non-purist though, I was not annoyed and rather liked the adaption for the silver screen. The acting was superb, as the children were even better than in The Lion, the Witch and The Wardrobe. The action was intense, and the storyline beat the pants off any Harry Potter movie (not that I have seen all of them).

If you’re looking for a good movie to see this week, while the showings of Indiana Jones 4 are sold out, you owe it to yourself to see this one.
