Andrew Adamson directs this second installation of the Pevensie siblings adventures in Narnia. Based on the classic set of books by uber-Christian C.S. Lewis, the story has the kids enlisted to help ward off an evil King Miraz and restore young Prince Caspian as the rightful heir to the land's throne. The look of the film is great, but sadly the story creeps along at such a tiresome pace - all 2 hours and 29 minutes of it - that you quickly lose any interest in what's going on. This, even despite the 'will-Aslan-return-or-not' plot devices. All battles all the time does not a movie make. Prince Caspian proves bigger and louder is not the right formula for a squeal.
My rating 4 out of 10.
