Review of The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008) by Derekf. — 16 May 2008

Ploddingly slow and poorly acted and directed. Based upon most major newspaper reviews, I have concluded that the reviewers are paid by the production companies for favorable reviews. Dry dialogue, dryly delivered.

Edited to be about 40 minutes longer than necessary. CGI effects are well done, but not enough to sustain 2 and a half hours of such a tedious story. This is not what a good movie is by any measurement.

I love a good family movie, fantasy, classic retelling, adventure, or even simple action movie. This movie embodies none of the above. This is commerce emulating art. I usually am not moved to comment on movies I see in the theater (which is often), but I had to make an exception for this one.

Me and my 7 year old son were bored nearly to sleep.
