Review of The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008) by Hypers — 22 Dec 2008

As with most sequels this film suffers from a lack of originality that made the first intriguing. Sure we get to see familiar characters, but all the curiosity is gone as we know the formula already. 4 kid heroes, a few fight sequences, a few dwarfs and minotaurs, the end.

No new real unique story or mystery here... no new character development, which a series like Harry Potter manages to recreate with each of its movies. I think this 2nd film was most suffering from a good villain.

There really wasn't one... just a guy who made me constantly picture Cortez of Spain conquering the Aztecs every time I saw him on screen [maybe I got kind of bored]. The special effects are fine.

.. and there was really no faults in the story... just nothing exciting [and the movie was too long]. A solid 6.
