"The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" is a big-budget, special-effects-rich tale with a lot of PG-rated action (no blood), but a weak and confused story. It's 1600 years later in Narnia, and The Siblings are needed once more as a ruined Narnia is threatened with utter destruction from the neighboring kingdom. This time around the creatures are less of a wonder, and talking animals have lost their surprise. The mythology of Aslan, the god lion, is just silly. He's still around, but apparently he doesn't want to get involved unless The Siblings are in mortal danger. Why he takes this attitude is not explained.Kids will enjoy the movie for the special effects and the battle scenes, but adults who are looking for more will be bored, and both kids and adults will wonder why it took almost two and a half hours to get it all done.
