My husband and I were nervous about taking our two kids, ages 6 and 9, to this 2+ hour movie...but we need not have been. Our kids sat rapt while this spectacular adventure unfolded before us. This film is true to the spirit of the entire Narnia adventure; I would even venture to say that it is superior to the first film in almost every way. The child actors' abilities have improved greatly, making it easier to go along for the ride with them. Prince Caspian is excellently cast. The effects are awesome, as before. I found myself really caring for all of the characters, even though all of the Narnian characters, except for Aslan, were new to this film, while old favorites were gone. The film moves along at a good clip, never feeling too drawn out or too long. I would heartily recommend it to anyone, of any age. Perhaps its' finest feature is that, at its' heart, it presents to us flawed characters who find that by asking for God's help (represented by Aslan), they find the ability to defeat the evil both within and without.
