Movie Review: Chronicles of Narnia – Prince Caspian

I have been on a big budget movie kick of late, so naturally, Narnia fell into place. As a Mother’s Day gift to a friend, the opening of the movie played right into my hands, for me to see it. Then, it occurred to me that the piper for all these big budget movies would come at the end of the month with Sex and The City—the ultimate chick flick (yikes!). At any rate, to return Narnia, all the principles come back with another year of maturity (story wise) under their belts, but 1300 years later for Narnia in this latest installment, of which there will be seven by the way, and humans have oppressed and suppressed the mystical and magical creatures. Need I say more?

Although this is a typical and predictable movie, the special effects are excellent, and the story, for what it is, is a good yarn. It is a family movie. And, it is a enjoyable romp. It is unfortunate however, that Disney decided to release it between the two biggest hits of the summer, Indiana Jones—and—Ironman. Nevertheless, feel free to your take your kids to one of the best big budget movies of the summer.
