Movie Review : Narnia - Prince Caspian


First of all, I'm not a good reviewer of movies. Hehe.. perhaps just want to let y'll know what I think of this movie.

I went to TGV KLCC yesterday, accompanied by L. As always, :) . I'm not a big fan of LOTR-type of movies. Since L insisted to watch this, so I said 'Ok, why not?'

My mistake was I didn't watch the first Narnia, (the one with longer title, closet+white witch+narnia+etc). It would be much more entertaining to watch if you already watch the first, and not spend most of the time asking person besides you "Who's Aslan?"

Moving on to the critics, I should say that this movie is worth your money. Except the Prince Caspian's english accent througout the movie quite annoying sometimes. Hehe.

The story started when Prince Caspian started blowing the horn (Aslan's horn I think) which in returns resurrect/called upon the so called 'Queens and Kings of Narnia'.

At the same time, elsewhere to the other side of the world, a portal opened. Portal where these Kings and Queens of Narnia went through and arrive at Narnia! Soon, they've learnt that Narnia was doomed! Narnians extincted! Aslan went vanished!

Next, of course pretty predictable. To overthrone the evil King (Caspian's uncle), to rebuild Narnia, to find Aslan, so on and so forth.

Moan of the movie
I just couldn't understand why Aslan actually left the Narnians. Somehow, he/it eventually decided to help after meeting up with Lucy. Why not earlier than that? Why Lucy? Maybe if I watched the first movie, then I would understand. Or perhaps wait another sequel?

Moment of the movie
Of course the battle scene. But not as goof as LOTR battle scene. Its okay-lah. Another one is the (cameo) appearance of the evil White Witch. Kinda cool.

Overall rating
3.5/5
