Rating: PG
Official Bar Score: 
The four Pevensie children return to Narnia, only to discover that hundreds of years have passed since they ruled there, and the evil King Miraz has taken charge. With the help of a heroic mouse called Reepicheep, and the exiled heir to the throne, Prince Caspian, they set out to overthrow the King, once again with Aslan’s help.
I was kind of lost going into this and that’s not good considering that I watched “The Lion, The Witch, & The Wardrobe” right before watching its sequel. It took me a minute to catch on to the story, what with all the humans in Narnia. But once it got going I picked it right up. I want to touch on a few things that bothered me about this film first I hated the mouse I thought that he was cheesy and frankly stupid, I’m sure he was there for comic relief but I would of picked a more serious character than a mouse.
Next I think that evil King Miraz was trying to hard to be Lionidas from 300, at least his appearance, he was no Lionidas. There weren’t enough scenes with the lion either, I really liked that character and hoped to see more of him. I did dig a lot of the other characters though, like the minotaurs and the dwarfs they were really cool.
I also really liked the battle scenes and the special effects, Walt Disney does a great job with fantasy films and never disappoints in that aspect. I really liked the viking looking water dude that comes closer to the end of the film, watch for that it is one of the highlights for me. The four kids are great actors/actresses and I think they have a bright future. But I don’t understand why they weren’t older when they returned to Narnia like when they left the first film. Other than a few nit picks of mine the film was good, I would of liked to see a few of the older characters return from the first film, but Oh well.
I don’t think this was better than “The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe” at all, I’d give it a nice runner up though. As far as the battles and effects it ruled the story could of filled a few loop holes better for my taste. I’d say the film was nothing more than average.

Fantasy movies are fucking stupid. The only ones that got it right were the “Lord of the Rings” movies, and I would even say they were mad overrated if not for the absolutely groundbreaking and breathtaking effects and cinematography. But for the most part, they are all crap.
fuck you winston you trying to pick a fight or something? these books and there cinema counterparts are great exceapt i hated the reading any of the narnia books too long and slow not enough action. me im a tolken freak. read allmost all his books and have only a few complaints. the golden compass was by the same writter as the narnia shit but i have no idea if it is related to the chronicals.
This movie was good. I give it 4 beers. I still want to go up the Aslan and give him a hug. Those kids can’t do shit without the help of Aslan, why don’t he just fix shit in the first place and save everyone some time?

Apparently, the Lion in this movie is supposed to represent the lord Jesus Christ. And therefore, this film gets a “classic status” from me. YAY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!
YAY FALSE IDIOL!!!
