'The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian'--2 stars

A potential seven-film dynasty, the "Chronicles of Narnia" franchise so far has preoccupied itself with delivering C.S. Lewis on a blockbuster of a platter.

"Badger-Warrior?" Is that another name for "Reepicheep" the Chief-mouse?!?

Actually, I felt that "Prisoner of Azkaban" was the worst movie of the Potter series and that the first two were excellent. I mean, a shrunken head for laughs? What did that add? I will say though that while I enjoyed the first Narnia movie, it did seem a little light/lacking.

The badger's name is Trufflehunter, and as others posted, Reepicheep is the Chief Mouse.

Not all movies have to be artistic, groundbreaking, and in line for the next Oscar. As an art student- well you get sick of it some times. I want to be entertained, I don't want to think-school's out for the next few months. The movies came into being because we wanted entertainment. So let them be just that! And this movie is very entertaining.

Yea, but this one doesn't really even seem to stick to the book. So thats two strikes against it. One for bad directing and one for a bad screen adaptation.

I'm amazed that the Tribune critic got somewhere near right.

The operative phrase here must be "dumbed down".

In the Lewis book, one of the Pensvie kids challenges Trumpkin, "dear little friend", to a sword duel. He loses that, and an archery contest with Susan. Having proved thier claim to be the ancient kings, one Pensvie refers to the erstwhile skeptical Trumpkin as the "DLF" - Peter admonishes against cruelty, and Trumpkin, eager to get things moving again admits that "a jibe doesn't raise a blister"...

"...a jibe doesn't raise a blister" would have cost six seconds in running time. It was traded for seven minutes of nonsensical flying creatures that don't appear in the book.

Ed's flashlight wasn't the only thing to get lost in Narnia.

Here's what is really frightening: "Dawn Treader" can possibly be made into a shoot-em-up. But how are you going to make "The Silver Chair" starring Puddlglum into an actioner when his very pipe smoke goes straight to the ground?
