A more violent, but still enjoyable effort.
Added 11/5/2009
I don't think it's a big deal, but I will mention that there is some blood in this movie. Not a lot by any means, and not enough to probably give it a second thought, but certain things gave this movie a more mature feel to it. The movie itself starts off slow, and slowly progresses, but once the first major fight scene comes up it barely falls off much.
The Lion returns in this effort which by the time half of the movie was over, I was surprised to see, and the Witch from the first one also makes a small return.
If you are worried if this is going to be too violent for a kid, I'd say overall it's not. The 1-3 year olds won't sit and watch it that much and the older ones, say 8 and up will find it engulfing and magical as I did. Sure, there is a done-that-been-there feel to it since the movie's first incarnation but Narnia: Prince Caspian is sure to please loyal fans and new fans alike.
The ones I'd worry about watching it is probably the more impressionable 4-6 year olds. It may be a bit too intense for them but overall, anyone can view this movie and take something from it.
Many have said that this wasn't as good as the first, but in contrast, I must disagree. This one had a special flair to me. Both movies may be a bit on the long side, but I enjoyed them to a good degree, especially when the first introduced itself in 2006 and I went to the theatre to see it.
3.75 stars.
end note: No, I don't usually rate like that but this movie deserves it. I was more entertained than not here.

Better than the First--I Think

Yes, I do believe I liked this version better than the first. It's for my daughter, but mom and dad always check 'em out. Pretty good price at Amazon!

Prince Caspian is an awesome movie. It just so happened that the one we received, freezes up at chapter 21. We didn't know that until it was too late to return because it was summer and life was full and we didn't get a chance to watch it right away. I wish we could have one where all the chapters work well since this is such a great story put to film.

not EXACTLY like the book
Added 9/17/2009
My children and I enjoyed the movie for the most part with the animals actually looking like animals. But, we were all quite disappointed and a little bit disgusted that the movie makers once again had to put something in that didn't belong and wasn't even needed. I am referring to the budding romance between Susan and Prince Caspian. Please! Why was that necessary. Why do children's movies have to fill the need that adults have for sexual undertones (or overtones for that matter)
