'Prince Caspian' is Inappropriate for All Agesnew
Of the 144 minutes that the new fantasy-adventure film The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian runs, there isn't a single clever one to be found. There are, perhaps, three or four that sufficiently stimulate the eyes. This leaves at least 140 more to be bored by, to laugh at, to be further bored by and, finally, to plan an escape from.

'Prince Caspian' is a Satisfying Visit Back to the Fantasy Worldnew
Andrew Adamson's film version of the C.S. Lewis book, though it suffers from many of the same flaws as his 2005 adaptation of the first Narnia novel, expands and contracts the story in just the right places to transform it into successful summer-blockbuster fodder.

Go Back to Narnia with 'Prince Caspian'new
It's a little long, a little boring, but not entirely without visual inventiveness. Your mileage may vary depending on whether you're squiring tykes (sure, why not) or going by yourself as a grown-ass man or woman (don't bother).

If I'm Lion, I'm Dyin'
If you and your kids aren't already admirers of the book, Narnia just may bore the crap out of the whole family.

The new film version of the first of Lewis's seven Narnia volumes plays like The Lord of the Rings with training wheels.

If We Could Talk to the Animalsnew
Fusillade No. 1 in Disney's presumed seven-film adaptation of C.S. Lewis' beloved children's tales is marred by dodgy CGI work and windy pacing.

As much as the director hews to the letter of C.S. Lewis' book, he ultimately finds the transcendent spirit elusive.

The effects are effective in this mild but pleasing Christian allegory. So why couldn't they have replaced those bloody kids with CGI?
