The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

“A glorious medieval war movie. It's about war as the ultimate pitch of conflict that tries men's souls, and women's, too.”

Michael Sragow, Baltimore Sun · 100

“Several shades darker in tone than the previous edition -- which, to be fair, didn't carry the burden of expectation that a sequel must bear -- the return to Narnia still casts a transporting spell.”

Michael Rechtshaffen, The Hollywood Reporter · 80

“Closer to a straight-ahead medieval battle picture than the fantastical, other-worldly journey depicted in "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," this new entry is a bit darker, more conventional and more crisply made than its 2005 predecessor.”

Todd McCarthy, Variety · 80

“As portrayed by William Moseley, Skandar Keynes, Georgie Henley and especially Anna Popplewell as Susan, the Pevensies still make for terrific tween protagonists, and Aslan, the majestic mythical lion voiced by Liam Neeson, is still a breathtaking manifestation of the Cat Upstairs.”

Ann Hornaday, Washington Post · 80

“The film's pronounced split between violence and softness notwithstanding, Prince Caspian is finally a more polished effort than "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" and squarely in the tradition of the kind of teenage movies the Disney organization used to make before teens discovered horror and gore.”
