ItвЂ™s about four kids struggling to hold onto their childhood in the middle of a war and the fantastical place that lets them be something more than scared. After all, NarniaВ is in many ways a story about escape.

And for that alone, we would like to keep going back - again and again.The timeline of The Chronicles of NarniaВ movies can be a bit confusing, especially because it's really two timelines: the story of Narnia, and the story of Earth. That's what Narnia aims for, anyway - escape from mundanity, thirst for adventure and in the process learning a thing or two about friendship, honour and compassion. Though murky in mood, Prince Caspian is at heart, still a Walt Disney film, about four young heroes with pure hearts and untainted souls saving a magical world from tyrannical beings. A judicious blend of smooth visual effects and detailed art design add to Prince Caspian's bigger and better aura. His tame romance track with Susan, which isn't there in the book, doesn't make any difference to the movie, except allowing Poppellwell to briefly showcase her lip-locking skills.Дeftly shot battle scenes at Aslan's How and Miraz's castle, against Harry Gregson-Williams' dynamic score, brim with compelling action and headstrong rage.

Despite his obvious good-looks, Ben Barnes' weak charisma is terribly overshadowed by the afore-mentioned younglings.Д¬aspian, himself, seems like a rather passive fella, with the Pevensies and Narnia folk doing most of the groundwork. Which is why it is saddening to see the titular hero failing to make any impact. There might be no external change in PoppellwellВ (radiance and spirit personified) and Moseley's (showing attitude with restraint) appearance but their body language is decidedly more self-assured. Physically, Keynes (growing into a skillful, expressive, shall we add, handsome, young man) and Henley have grown taller, also the gap between the super-adorable Henley's teeth seems to have disappeared, indicating how quickly young boys and girls grow up. Plus, owing to their naturally disarming disposition, it hardly takes any effort to get reacquainted. Role-wise, Pevensie children are in well-defined place, in the second feature. But power-packed, nevertheless.Дirector Andrew Adamson orchestrates the proceedings in Narnia with inspiring regard, tweaking the original material at all the right places, keeping the script compact yet allowing it adequate breathing space while encompassing the contribution of all the protagonists, irrespective of their stature in the story. Clearly, the Pevensie comeback is darker than ever. There's no place to be wonder-struck or wide-eyed in disbelief while the enemy, in an overwhelming number, threatens to destroy everything Narnia stands for. Only this time, grit and combat take precedence over emotion and enchantment. The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, the second film in the series, after the immensely successful first installment The Lion, the Witch and the Wardobe, continues its tradition of dramatically adapting and ingeniously altering from C S Lewis' Narnian saga. What remains unchanged though is the glorious and inevitable victory of good over evil.

Meanwhile, Trumpkin is taken hostage by the Telemarines and Caspian blows Susan's horn to summon the Pevensie rescue squad for help.Д«ut like Aslan (in Liam Neeson's majestic baritone) repeatedly emphasises to a puzzled Lucy, 'Things don't happen the same way twice, dear one'. On the run from Miraz's men, Caspian bumps into the seemingly extinct Narnian population, namely Nikabrik-a haughty black dwarf (Warwick Davis gets it suitably nasty), Trumpkin-a grumpy red dwarf (Peter Dinklage illustrates how adept he is at sporting yak-hair beard and portraying a big-hearted little man), Trufflehunter, the thoughtful badger (voice of Ken Stott) and Reepicheep (an utterly delightful vocal tour de force from Eddie Izzard), a swashbuckler of a mouse who makes Remy (of Ratatouille) look like shrimp in comparison. Even though his deceased elder brother's teenage son, Prince Caspian (Ben Barner) is the rightful heir to the throne, Miraz plans to seize power and orders for the latter to be executed the minute his wife gives birth to a son. Having been taken over by the menacing Telemarines, its reins now lie in the ruthless hands of the vicious Miraz (Sergio Castellitto plays the aristocratic villain with refined brutality). A year (1300 years in Narnian calendar) have passed even as Susan (Anna Popplewell), Edmund (Skandar Keynes), Lucy (Georgie Henley) and, especially, Peter (William Moseley) struggle to settle down to a stressful existence in war-time England. Things have changed dramatically since they/we last made a trip. Also Read: How well do you know The Chronicles?
