The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian - 9 stars out of 10
Though none of the Narnia films will compare to the first, this movie comes pretty close. The special effects steal the show though, as with the first, I was extremely impressed with the acting of such a young cast (particularly Peter and Susan)! Consistent with the books, the second movie was much darker than the first. I was glad that they did not try to make this TOO family friendly by cutting away before anybody died. Overall, the fighting was pretty intense and the story was effectively told in this limited movie length. The music was not as effective as in the first, though I loved Regina Spector at the end. The bad guys are truly evil, you'll really want the good guys to win, Caspian is likeable, and you will really blown away by the special effects; in short, see this movie!!!
(note that I did not mention Aslan in this review - that was not a mistake)
