Discount Shopping Review: More exciting than The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian continues the movie franchise based on C.S. Lewis' classic fantasy books. The movie picks up where the first left off... sort of. It's been a year since the Pevensie children--Peter (William Moseley), Susan (Anna Popplewell), Edmund (Skandar Keynes), and Lucy (Georgie Henley)--returned to England from Narnia, and they've just about resigned themselves to living their ordinary lives. But just like that, they're once again transported to a fantastical land, but one with a long-abandoned castle. It turns out that they are in Narnia again--and they themselves lived in that castle, but hundreds of years ago in Narnia time. They've been summoned back to help Prince Caspian (Stardust's Ben Barnes, resembling a young, cultured Keanu Reeves), the rightful heir to the throne who's become the target of his power-hungry uncle, King Miraz (Sergio Castellitto). And he's not the only one threatened: Miraz's people, the Telmarines, have pushed all the Narnians--the talking animals, the centaurs and other beasts, the walking trees--to the brink of extinction. Despite some alpha-male bickering, Peter and Caspian agree to fight Miraz alongside the remaining Narnians, including the dwarf Trumpkin (Peter Dinklage) and the swashbuckling mouse Reepicheep (voiced by Eddie Izzard). (Also appearing is Warwick Davis, who was in Willow and the 1989 BBC version of Prince Caspian.) But of course they most of all miss the noble lion, Aslan, who would have never let this happen to Narnia if he hadn't disappeared.
Prince Caspian is epic, evoking memories of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings films. (Some of the battle elements may seem too familiar, but they were in Lewis's book.) And it's appropriate for kids (Reepicheep could have come out of a Shrek movie), though the tone is dark and there is a lot of death, albeit bloodless. After two successful films, Disney and Walden Media's franchise has proved successful enough that many of the characters are scheduled to return in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. --David Horiuchi, Amazon.com

Rating: - Surprising delight
I bought this film as I was doing a project on C S Lewis. I was really impressed by this film - although it works as a 'stand alone' it would be best to see 'Narnia' first
Rating: - I love this movie
I love Narnia. I could watch this a hundred times. It is very exciting to me. I actually liked the movie better than the book, because you get to see the pictures of what is happening and the characters too. I liked all the actors and actresses on the film. It was fun. You should watch it too...
Rating: - Prince Caspian
Arrived promptly and in excellent condition. A very good film which the children love although there are some darker moments. Loved the mouse!
Rating: - Superb.
First of all I have to say that this is the first Blu-Ray film I have ever watched and this technology does not disappoint. Everything was crystal clear and the sound so perfect that at one point when someone trod on a twig, I nearly jumped out of my skin.
The Telmarines have taken over Narnia and Prince Caspian who should rightly be the next King finds his life in danger when the Usurper, Miraz's wife gives birth to a son. His ambition is for his child to become King ergo, Caspian must ... Read More
Rating: - Good film!
I really like this film! Was delivered in good time and at a great price!
The story line is really good and resembles the book quite well. Having the same actors playing the children was good and I hope that will see the same people in the next film, the Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
