The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

If Andrew Adamson’s battle-heavy sequel to The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe falls to Indy 4 at the box office, it won’t be for want of trying to out-he-man the competition. Adamson has retooled the old-fashioned, handmade charms of the first Narnia into a schoolboy epic strung together by CGI-laden action sequences featuring men and boys wearing metal while showing mettle. All but gone is Tilda Swinton’s flash-frozen White Witch, while sweet Pevensie sibling Susan (Anna Popplewell) comes improbably refurbished as a girl warrior briskly repelling the longing glances cast at her by Caspian (Ben Barnes), heir to a throne he wants her to save, along with Narnia, from vaguely Mediterranean thugs with scant respect for the divine right of kings. The rest, with perfunctory pit-stops for speeches about whether God owes man or vice versa, is armed combat between swarthy humans, virile centaurs, and two boy-Brits quarreling over who has the longer, er, sword, culminating in an entertaining finale that features the biggest, hairiest water sprite you’ve ever seen. Prince Caspian is fairly good adventure fun, which bodes well for the movie’s juvie box office. But those who grew up on the Narnia books may miss the warmly human coming-of-age struggles that played out on both sides of the land of War Drobe in the country of Spare Oom. — Ella Taylor
