The Chronicles of Narina: Prince Caspian is a retread of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, Witch and
the Wardrobe. Now the villian is King Miraz (Sergio Castellitto), who is has taken over Narnia . When the
four Pevensie children (William Mosely, Anna Popplewell, Skandar Keynes, and Georgia Henley) return,
they find themselves paired with Miraz' nemesis nephew, Prince Caspian (Ben Barnes), to help restore
peace in the kingdom, thus bringing the "extinct" Narnians out of hiding to fight Mariz's army and search
for Asian, their lion. The detailed special effect and sweeping landscapes featured are beautiful to
watch and the four young actors once again give top notch performances. Prince Caspian running time
is a L O N G 144 minutes, 30 minutes of fighting could have been eliminated making the sequel easier to
sit through. We will have to wait until 2010 for C. S. Lewis' third novel, "The Voyage of the Dawn
Treader" which has already begun production
