The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

Rated PG for adventure violence

Starring Ben Barnes, Georgie Henley, Skandar Keynes, William Moseley, Anna Popplewell, Sergio Castellitto and Eddie Izzard

Following where the previous book left off, it's been a year since Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy have visited Narnia. However, for Narnia, it's been about 1300 years. The land has been overtaken by the Telmarines and General Miraz; the Narnians, who fled to the woods, are thought to be extincted. That is, until Prince Caspian, the 10th, flees from the castle, upon learning that Uncle King Miraz and his wife have finally bore their own male heir and that, like his father, he'll be dead soon if he doesn't run.

While fleeing, he runs into Narnians, who he's heard old stories of, and blows Susan's magical horn, bringing the kids back to Narnia. Working together, wondering where Aslan is, they make several attempts to bring down Miraz's troops, so Caspian can rightfully take the throne and make it so the Narnians and Telmarines can leave in peace.

It was a lot of fun and the battle sequences were really neat too. Plus, who doesn't love talking animals - especially a knight mouse who thinks he can do anything? If you enjoyed the first one, you'll like this installment as well.
