Prince Caspian



This movie kept you entertained. It wasn’t edge of your seat, what’s gonna happen next, type of action but I think it was better than the first. To me in the first one the action/ fighting sequences were more defensive and didn’t really entertain. In this one you see Peter and Edmund more and more running up to a person kicking them in the chest and then punching them in the head. It was crazy cool like that.
Susan even stood out more with her Bow and Arrow skills, actually using them is a good thing. Lucy was more on the cute and funny side of the movie being the only one that could see Aslan for a while and setting off to find him. The special effects are phenomenal and the only flaw I would say would be with the centaurs. When they walk or run, it doesn’t seem to flow or look right like it did in the first.
The actor who plays Prince Caspian does really well and he provides humor and a sense of daring. Peter seems to be in conflict with this during the whole of the movie. The two best characters by far would have to be Reepicheep and the Dwarf. Their subtle humor carries you through the dramatic parts where there isn’t much of anything flashy. All in all a great movie and perfect for the family. 4 out of 5 on the awesomeness scale
