The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian


Last Sunday, I joined my friends to the cinema for the movie, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. Although I did watch the first sequel of The Chronicles of Narnia; The Lion, The Witch, and Wardrobe but I couldn't follow up the story due to its poor quality of DVD I bought... Hahaha.


THE SUMMARY:

In Telmarine territory of Narnia, King Miraz's wife Queen Prunaprismia give birth to a son, meaning that he has to kill Caspian in order to get Caspian's rightful throne for himself. Luckily,
Doctor Cornelius alerts Prince Caspian about King Miraz's intention to assassinate him then sends him out to flee.During his fleeing into Narnia's woods, Caspian encounters two Narnian dwarves and a talking badger in the woods. At same time, he is being chased by several Telmarine soliders. Feeling panicked, he blow Queen Susan's magic horn.

With the help from Nikabrik and Trufflehunter, Caspian forms an army of Narnian creatures to meet Miraz's human warriors by promising them he will return the land to them once he gains his throne back.

Back in England, one year having passed in their world since they first entered Narnia. In a country railway, the four Pevensie children notices the wall being sucked in when the subway trains pulls into the station and then the whole station tears apart to leave the children in Narnia. There, they discover Cair Paravel where was once their castle has turned to ruins.

The children save Trumpkin who is being captured while the Telmarine soldiers chase Caspian and about be drown in ocean by two Telmarine soldiers. Trumpkin realizes the children are the kings and queens of old then they set off together. On the journey, they bumps into Caspian and his troops who take them to Aslan's How.

They then become allies in an early battle in Miraz's castle, however their strategic was the mistake, which causes many animals die and they are forced to retreat. Now the war between good and evil escalates. Nibabrik, a rebellious dwarf wants to free White Witch. Aslan appears to Lucy.

King Peter drafts a one-to-one challenge to King Miraz and King Miraz accepts since his counsel show doubt of his bravery. With both armies surrounding them on the battlefield, they draw swords and duel so fiercely. In a moment of the fight, Miraz is knocked to the ground.

To everyone's surprise, his own lord stabs him in the back with a Narnian arrow and then blames the Narnians for shooting Miraz. He summons the army to amass an immense battle against the Narnians.

Middle of the battle, Aslan appears and renews the land by calling forth the dryads to ripple with movement again and awakening the river god to destory the massive man-made wooden bridge. It causes the surviving Telmarine soldiers has forced to surrender and hand over their weapons.

In celebration in the town of Beaversdam, Aslan announces that Peter and Susan no longer able to return to Narnia as they gains experiences in Narnia and are needed no more in there. Finally the children go back to England, leaving Caspian to get on his throne as King of Narnia.

Some said this movie is no better than the first one. Some said both sequels are equally the best. To me, this movie is really good and I do enjoyed this movie, I admit. This movie features most of positive values in this movie. As you can see, this movie is full with love, friendship, leadership, self-respect and etc. However, compared to the first sequel, the important element is missing in this second movie, which is the MAGIC!! Too many fights but not enough magic. I doubt why.
