Yay! I just watched it today (it opens today :]) with my P6A friends for our reunion! Personally, I felt that this was better than the first film. Okay, quick plot summary... Pardon me if I got some facts wrong. So apparently, it's about the conflict between the Narnians and the Telmarine. 1300 years have passed in Narnia since the Kings and Queens of Narnia (as seen in the previous Narnia film "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe") left Narnia and returned to their original land of the humans. The Telmarines have invaded Narnia and the narnians are thought to be extinct and the original grandeur of their lands were left in ruins. So this guy, Prince Caspian X, who is the next in line for the throne, is about to be killed by his uncle Miraz who wants to claim the throne for himself after his wife had a baby boy. So Caspian X escaped into the forest and met the Narnians. As he was about to be killed, he blew the magic horn that his professor gave to him before he left and that call for help transported the Pevensies from the train station back into Narnia to help him claim back his throne. Well, shan't spoil the fun, basically there were some conflicts and they eventually fought the Telmarine (they meaning Caspian X and the Pevensies, in the end, with the help of Aslan). There are quite a number of sub-plots here like faith, betrayal and leadership. Yeah... Go watch the show:)
This film is directed by Andrew Adamson starring Ben Barns (Prince Caspian X), Georgie Henley (Lucy), Skandar Keynes (Edmund), William Moseley (Peter), and Anna Popplewell (Susan). Personally, I think the graphics were really cool and pretty convincing. I especially liked the water thing at the end. XP Well, great costumes and certain props that can also be found in the first film like the magic horn. All really well made and thought through I think. There was a short appearance of the White Witch but basically, the main characters for this film were still the Pevensies, only this time accompanied mainly by Caspian X and King Miraz. The events were smoothly laid out and the songs were appropriately added in to add to the atmosphere. (The audio tracks were really good :]) It has a bit more fighting scenes than the first film and emphasizes the growth of Peter but a vast difference in character can be seen in Edmund from the comparison of the two films.
Well, that's about it... Shall not spoil any more of the fun :)

the makers of Prince Caspian kept to the original story surprisingly well... i heard they were going to make it into a silly pure-action flick, but thankfully this was not the case
Hey! I read your post on Prince Caspian on your blog. It was really good, much better than mine anyway but thanks for commenting. :)
