We see that Edmund (Skandar Keynes) has matured, and the different life choices that Lucy (Georgie Henley) and Susan (Anna Popplewell) will make are hinted at here as well.Īslan, the Christ-like lion voiced by Liam Neeson, is magnificent as always. This isn't in the book, but it feels right 's these characters would clash. Caspian, the new king, and Peter (William Moseley) clash over decision making. The character development is superior to that in the book. There are some really good things about the film. But soon they prove themselves to the Narnians, who accept the leadership of the four humans and Caspian, and the scene is set for a struggle for Narnia's soul. It is a shock to the Narnians, of course, to find that their mighty monarchs from long ago are in fact gawky British teenagers. But when Caspian blows a magic horn, they suddenly find themselves transported from the Strand Underground station to Narnia. These four children, meanwhile, are just settling down to life in wartime England. One tells of four warrior kings and queens from long ago 's the Pevensie children, who will come, like Arthur, in Narnia's hour of greatest need. There he finds that the talking animals, dwarves and centaurs haven't gone extinct after all, and he enlists their help to win his kingdom back and save Narnia. When Miraz's wife gives birth to an heir, Caspian must flee for his life into the forest. The hero is Prince Caspian (Ben Barnes), the Telmarine heir to the throne who faces a Hamlet-like predicament: His evil uncle Miraz (Sergio Castellitto) has murdered his father and usurped the throne. Thirteen hundred years after the events of the first film, Narnia is ruled by a race of men called the Telmarines, who have driven the original Narnians, the talking beasts and mythical creatures, into the forest. Adamson and his co-writers decided to amend the narrative somewhat, but the end product is still not as good as the prequel. But if they messed around with the narrative too much, they could alienate the core audience.
Having read the book, I knew that the first problem facing the filmmakers was that it isn't quite as good as its predecessor, "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." So if they were to stay faithful to the book, the film wouldn't be as good either. So expectations for "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" were high. Because the books captured so many of us at such a young age, the series is to many people a bigger deal than "Lord of the Rings" or the Harry Potter movies. I was only seven or eight years old when I discovered Narnia.
