the chronicles of narnia: prince caspian [or TCONPC to nerdy fanboys], has been billed as being more violent than its predecessor, the chronicles or narnia: the lion, the witch and the wardrobe [or TCONTLTWATW], to the point that some parents have said that it is too violent. since prince caspian is rated pg, i must ask, how violent can this be? i doubt that this movie will show anything along the lines of severed limbs [unfortunately]. but in the case that it may be violent, it won't be to the point that it will quench anyone's blood lust. so let's not expect that prince caspian's level of gore to be anything unlike that of live action role playing [or LARP to those who love to play with fake swords on college quads everywhere].aside from all the larping, the movie has the pevensie children returning to narnia one year later, only to discover that a thousand years has passed in narnia time. not only that, narnia has gone to pot. although most of the creatures that they knew are gone, the children do encounter some old friends, like the lion with an irish accent.1 [i guess life expectancies of lions are higher in narnia for whatever reason. perhaps it is because there are no hyenas in narnia.] the children then ally themselves with the movie's namesake to capture the throne [or something]. in the end, there shouldn't be any surprises as to what will happen. it'll just be more of the same as the preceding edition. whether that's good or bad chiefly depends on previous impressions.
prognosis : 7/10
1 similarly, the dragon in dragonheart has a scottish accent. it is a mystery as to how they gained such accents.
