Of Mice and ... Narnia!

Okay so, you know when you see a movie and then they come out with a sequel and somehow you feel obligated to see it? Yea. That was me with Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. And let me just tell you that I was not at all dissapointed.

The Pevensie siblings yet again take part on another adventure to save Narnia.

The sequel is about a village of Spanish people called the Telemarines who basically wiped out all of Narnia. But, as foreseen, the Pevensie siblings are summoned by Prince Caspian to help restore Narnia back to it's rightful owners, the creatures of Narnia.

It was absoluetly outstanding, including the new addition, Ben Barnes, who plays Prince Caspian. But let us not forget the rest of the cast because they also did such a phenonmenol job. My favorite part had to be seeing King Edmund change into such a mature young man. In the first one, his immaturity annoyed me hugely. But too see him act the way he did was almost heart warming. Out of all of the siblings, I think he changed the most. And my favorite line had to be,"The last time I didn't believe Lucy I ended up looking pretty stupid." Oh! And the mice! They were not only hilarious, but ... EXTREMELY HILARIOUS. His name was Reepicheap and he was not only clever, but he was a great fighter. He alone could do just as much damage as the humans. It was a great addition to the new creatures in the movie.

Altogether, it was nice to see Lucy, Susan, Peter, and Edmund get along much better than in the first one.

The sequel definitely outshown the first one. The battle scenes were extremely riveting, especially the battle between King Peter and the head of the Telemarines. Some argue that the sequel is much darker than the first one, and I agree. But it makes it a lot easier for adults and children to connect to the film. It almost even had a LOTR spin to it .... It was majestic.

For any other information on anything Narnia related, most definitely check out Narniaweb. It will do a great job on filling you in on anything to do with Narnia, it is absoluetly great.
