The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
(USA, 2008, 146 minutes)
A year after finding themselves back in wartime England, the four Pevensie siblings are spirited back to the magical land of Narnia, where they find a thousand years have passed and they must help the young prince Caspian to reclaim his throne from the hands of an evil regent to bring peace to the land once more. The second book in C. S. Lewis' popular children's series becomes a dullish, interminable, charmless adventure that resolves itself in a series of well-handled fight and battle scenes and, despite reuniting all of the cast and crew of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, fails to recapture its charm and magic.
Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media present a Mark Johnson/Silverbell Films production. Starring Georgie Henley, Skandar Keynes, William Moseley, Anna Popplewell, Ben Barnes, Peter Dinklage, Pierfrancesco Favino; and Sergio Castellitto. Directed by Andrew Adamson; produced by Mark Johnson, Andrew Adamson, Philip Steuer; screenplay by Andrew Adamson, Christopher Markus, Stephen McFeely, from the novel by C. S. Lewis, Prince Caspian; music by Harry Gregson-Williams; director of photography (DeLuxe/Technicolor, widescreen), Karl Walter Lindenlaub; production designer, Roger Ford; costume designer, Isis Mussenden; film editor, Sim Evan-Jones; visual effects supervisors, Dean Wright, Wendy Rodgers; special make-up effects and creatures by Gregory Nicotero and Howard Berger.
