The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (DVD, 2008)

The whole premise for this movie is and was a great triumph in fantasy film. The characters where lovable and innocent, maybe too naive at times, yet were under-reacting to the situation at hand in certain moments.

As a movie critic, I sometimes fall asleep in the movie theaters after too much soda and popcorn, however, the slow parts that allowed me to do so were nobody's fault except for the poor editing of the studio. After a few winks, I got jolted back awake with a flurry of excitement and wondered what I had missed. Mostly, I missed the parts where everyone was starring around at each other.

I'd rate this experience a 4 out of 5 and hope to spend more time in the future learning the subtle nuances of the storyline. The kids loved it, but am not sure if a younger audience could get all the subplots as well as the older ones.
