Caspian is a visual sleeper hold from frame one; a constipated effort to erect widescreen wonderment, yet the production is missing dimension and needed narrative gusto.

The body count is high, the running time is particularly long for a children's film, and the themes are fairly heavy. But, like Wardrobe, it's a lush and mostly entertaining production.

Excessively violent but oddly dull...a Crusades allegory for teeny-boppers
Feb 27, 2009
The creakiness of the plot mechanics and the light condescension I detect don't have me looking forward to the third Narnia movie.
Feb 9, 2009
...the opening hour essentially proceeds at a crawl...
Feb 2, 2009
Andrew Adamson shows a more confident and defined vision that works on several levels, however it's unable to overcome a nagging feel of disconnect.
Dec 23, 2008
It's unfair to characterize it as Lord of the Rings-Light, but it's difficult to avoid that conclusion after watching this earnest but seriously under-inspired effort.
Dec 1, 2008
It's entertaining, value-for-money stuff.
Oct 18, 2008
If crossbows, strange creatures, and a squeaky-clean young cast are the right elements for a fantasy sequel, then this naive epic is your movie.
Oct 18, 2008
Adamson barrels the action along in an even-handed manner that should keep most of the family happy.

As with any would-be summer blockbuster, the members of the special effects team are the real stars, and they haven’t stinted in bringing this fantasy world to life.
Oct 18, 2008
Adamson's pulled a more morally nuanced rabbit (or badger, actually) out of his directorial hat this time out, and the result is a far more engrossing film than its predecessor.

A well-executed, faithful version of the C. S. Lewis classic.
