I am a huge fan of the Chronicles of Narnia series. I went to the movies to be a part of opening weekend in order to support the great leaps and bounds technology has made to assist the art of storytelling. This release was definitely on my short-list of summer blockbusters simply because I enjoyed the first installment so much. Having read the books I commended the director for having toned down the christian over-tones without losing the spirit of the work. In Prince Caspian, however, the religious theme is not only dialed up, it is being rammed down our throats. Unfortunately, the darker and more adult oriented tale doesn't have enough action sequences weaved between the incredibly slow and poorly directed middle to justify any commitment aside from the "almighty" DVD purchase/rental. Please don't get me wrong, for I am a lover of all tales involving princes, evil kings and magic...but when the director chooses to turn a river into the image of G-d and then have Him literally eat all the bad guys...you kind of have to ask whether this story was brought to life as an all inclusive tale or what.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
