wow, this narnia is indeed a good movie looking forward to this new movie hehe

Hey, thanks for the info.
Now can email this trailer to my fren.

is this Narnia cont from the previous Narnia...
any relation...??
coz i saw diff actors were being acted xcept the lion...
btw it seems much more interesting than the previous movie...

It seems quite interesting from the trailer.....I remember last time narnia trailer also quite interesting but in the end,ends up with a huge disappointment!!!

The kids are the same no?

Hmm, the trailer seems quite promising.. will be looking forward for this movie

Thats because everyone thought its going to be another LOTR. Just like Golden Compass. Anyway Prince Caspian is one of the darker stories in Chronicles of Narnia. Should be more action packed.

Hope tis episod will have more n more surprise than last episod...

narnia 1 is a good movie..not bad, but not the top notch either....

well, this narnia 2 movie looks far more darker and intense compare to the first one..hehe..must watch alridi...

oh gawd not another fantasy movie...

looks like LOtr le

Please don't compare Narnia to Lotr. Narnia is a children's book whereas Lotr even though is aimed at young adult is much more heavier and complicated. Its the curse of Lotr. Every fantasy movie that come out, people compare it to Lotr. Why no battle scenes? Why no elves or dwarft? etc. I am a big fan on Lotr but Narnia is a different type of movie. I you want an action pack with lots of war scenes, Narnia definately is not.

no offence to any hardcore Narnia fans
I found that in the first movie, the acting was absolutely awful
At sometimes , i thought that the actors and actress were smiling all the time .
Juz my opinion though

its a child's show wat to expect XD

hola Raaj

There is a relation between all 7 books & movies. If you're reading the books according to publication dates, then you'll get a flashback feeling at the end of 7th book (which in other words, that is what Andrew Adamson is trying to do.)

But if you're going to read it by the Author's choice, then you'll get from Head to Toe's reading... very normal.

It all depends on how you're connected to all 7 of these stories, all different books has different outcomes/feelings towards different individuals.
Interesting though... have a read...

another two weeks and its time for narnia

Looking forward to it, seriously I love the lion so much, how I wish I can have it

I read the book in chronological order last time when I was a teen. (refer to below). Of all the stories, I personally like Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

1. The Magician's Nephew
2. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
3. The Horse and His Boy
4. Prince Caspian
5. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
6. The Silver Chair
7. The Last Battle

I also agree with mr mad that the acting in the first movie leaves much to be desired but I hope they'll improve their actings this time round. The Stone Tablet scene was supposed to be very dramatic but Lucy's acting kinda spoil the effect a little.

If you want to enjoy the show, leave the LOTR expectation behind. Narnia is never meant to compare with LOTR. I did the mistake in the first Narnia, dropp off the LOTR when watching Golden compass and it works.....at least I enjoy the movie.

Unfortunately, most Malaysian thinks all fantasy movies should be like LOTR. They think all fantasy movies should have war and action scenes like LOTR.

Glad that you find Golden Compass OK and not as bad as everyone thinks. Unfortunately I don't think you'll get to see a sequel because of the bad American box office of GC.

a sequel is always possible if not in 2-3years time.... just that different director on the helm

I watch the premier ytd nite in 1U....u guys better dun waste ur money on this stupid movie...I fallen asleep during the show...absolutely boring..no doubt the trailer is nice..but when comes 2 the movie...OMG

Ok..to make things simpler - was it better than the first movie, similar or worse?

R u sure its not good??If it is so,thanks for sharing as i planned to watch d...But the trailer looks nice..Haha

Me gonna catch this movie coz nothing else interesting is showing at the moment

seriously its very awful ar?
im planning of watching this second movie since i wanna compensate the profoundly creepy scenes on he first movie..

c the trailer quite nice

this is somewhat expected.. recently some movies' trailers are well done but that's all about it.. the movie itself sucks.. the first Narnia.. the kids can't act..

i am still hesitating whether to watch it this weekend.. as polaris said there's no other worth watching movies available..

no other worthy movies until next week Indy4

so.... i'm still gonna watch it anyway......

just watch it.

i think its better than the 1st, although my memory of the 1st is rather fuzzy.

acting is below average but i think have improvement from the 1st (but like i say, memory fuzzy)
fight scene is sometimes good, sometimes not so good
direction is a mixed bag - some scenes worked, some dont
less talking animals
the mouseketeers are win.
the villian is fail.
i like the religious undertones, even though i'm not religious, i'm open minded enough
the battles are definately not epic, but can get the feel of a last stand.

that more or less it; my ratings 6/10 (for reference lotr1 is 9, lotr2 is 8.5, lotr3 is 8, lotr(book) is 9.25)

Just came back from watching it and find it better than the first movie. Most people forgets that Narnia is a "CHILDREN'S" book. So don't expect it to be the next LOTR and don't compare it to LOTR and you could enjoy it better. But if your choice of movie is kick ass action movies such as Iron Man, I think you should save your money and watch Iron Man again instead or watch Indy 4. For me, I enjoyed it because I find the directing this time is more tight and they tone down the religious part alot. Still its a children's movie and the action is geared towards children so don't expect limbs flying or blood splattering all over the place "ala Braveheart". Still I was shock that there were a beheading scene. I feel that this time the directors really changed the tone of the movie alot and tried to make it more grown up which I think they have succeeded. For me I give it a 7/10 and I think its one of the better children's book adaption for along time and it better than the last Harry Potter.

86% on rottentomato. wtf

Definitely not watching this.Cant stand fantasy movies without epic war scene.

The first one was complete rubbish for me.

Look like LOTR style, but with the Snow White feeling. Definitely a big No-no (ok, probably for time killing)

better than the first one i guess...and it's a long show...

i watched it.
and i personally think its better than the first movie.
u haf to accept that its a children's movie
if not. u will be dspointed.
like i did on the first movie.
although i didnt really like narnia.
but i thought i would just haf a go for this 1.
yup. no other better movie atm.
anyway. its gud and better than the first.
but u wont want to watch for the 2nd time for a looooong time.

it is LOTR for kids .
enough said .

well , i enjoyed the show .

i watched it yesterday..ist show at alamnda putrajaya..wow..impressing.Its better than the 1st one and mre thrill la...worth every penny u spend for the ticket

Watched it just now, nice movie and worth for my spent RM 9.

I agree that it's not fair to compare LOTR with Narnia. The former's targeted at adults while the latter's targetted at children.

However, I was kinda disappointed with the first movie because of the horrible acting that leaves much to be desired. If the 2nd movie is an improvement of the first, I might consider watching it at the cinema.

why the hell almost everyone is comparing Narnia to LOTR ever since the first Narnia movie?
maybe the only similar thing between both of them are fantasy themed, but please don't forget LOTR is targeting adults while Narnia are based on children's book!

whoever stupid enough to expect LOTR style while watching it 10000% will be disappointed.

watched it last nite....abit tad dissapointed with it...not as 'grand' and interesting as the 1st epi......well, just my 2 cents.

POOR'S MAN LOTR BOOHOO

there is a beheading scene? didnt remember that - who got beheaded?

i'm only comparing to LotR cause its the most recent remotely comparable movie i know (didnt watch hp or compass)

or maybe this is better? narnia2 = 6/10 ; stardust 9/10? and maybe narnia1 = 5.5/10.

i am not looking for any huge 1000000+ cgi battle, but the feeling of an good fight. example, the ending worked (except for the river attack), the night attack didnt for me (except at the retreat part) - weird taste huh?

anyone knows the name of the song played at the finishing part? like a little girl singing slowly one..

we nd to compare it to somethig ma.
if u compare the war scence with lotr, then....................noting can be said

Just come back from watch this movie..
the movie was nice. Just i dont really understand about the story line..
maybe i hv to watch back narnia ep 1 then i can understand..

there is a beheading scene. if i'm not mistaken its the general... forgotten the name already. peter did the beheading after his duel with lord miraz.

Most of the stories in The Chronicles of Narnia are something like a stand-alone story with references to each other or the characters, etc. It's not something like... say Lord of The Ring where the story continues on from one movie to another.

The only main thing that connects the Narnia stories is Aslan. The rest goes back and forth in time and the characters that the kids meet are not the same ones that they met in the first movie/story. Judging from the online reviews that they wrote, I bet they must've cut off quite a lot of Caspian's story and straight-away casts him as 'Prince' Caspian..

Yeah,LOTR for kids.

For me, they tried to make the movie sound philosophical but failed badly I don't like how they made the epic scenes too. Yeah, maybe it just caters especially to 12 year olds

I think they did not cut a lot from the books. The book is quite short and its written in very simple to understand English and is targeted at kids. In fact, the battles are not really much described in the book and the directors have taken their liberty and added a lot more of action. Heck, they even made Susan into a female Legolas whereas in the books girls are not supposed to fight (some people says C.S. Lewis was a sexist especially if you take into account what happened at Susan at the last book).

If they are going to make another movie, a lot of people will be more disappointed because the most action packed book in Chronicles of Narnia was Prince Caspian. The next few books are more about exploration and discovering strange new places.

just watched it...

i would say its alot lot better than the first one...

more actions and less crap dramatic bullshit scenes......

but anyhow....the actings are still sucks in this one....

i would say its a fairly good movie..... the end battle scene is definitely better than the first one........coz its less army vs larger army and the underground strategy is pretty much unexpected.....

I watch it yesterday. I dont care much whether it follows the book since I'm not that purist (look at what happen to Harry Potter? duh)

I love the movie, its a good entertainment, perhaps, sorely because Caspian is very much a king in shining armor. ahaha.. I got a crush on him too.. his hair looks a bit like my magician in Granado Espada... lol

Somehow, the movie makes me inspired to make a similar version of the movie's Susan/Caspian coupling. Some I was in a writing mood again. haha... It was very cute, but I think it will receive the same bashing as for Liv Tyler's Arwen's screen time in LOTR. (C.S.Lewis and Tolkien are both friends and both seems to be sexist to adult woman anyway)

Somehow it resemble Fantaghiro from the first scene... lol

u mean in book or in the movie?...i just watch the movie ytday but the scene is not as what u said~..

overall i will rate this movie 7.5/10!!

If I am not mistaken, the beheading scene was right after King Miraz was killed and one of the soldiers/bodyguard attacked Peter. The beheading was not very obvious because it just showed the heargear/mask fell to the ground with no blood. Its a split second scene because after all this film is geared towards kids.

u already say it...it's the headgear drop on the ground

4/5

...

shd be this song regina spektor - the call

i take back what i said about prince caspian.. just watched it just now at TGV KLCC

it was nice from start till finish.. straight to the action.. the kids' acting have improved.. more fightings and this time it's better done than narnia 1. Even the fighting scenes have become more watchable.. not so kiddy

The effects are done nicely.. especially when the white witch comes out.. when the trees attack the catapults.. and when the river god comes out.. fuyoh damn nice

I recommend this movie.. RM11 well spent

haha...i spent rm12.5 le...for the middle seat in the cinema

i spent rm7, in 1U, upper middle seat 7/10 from me, thumbs up for action, and above average storyline, but thumbs down for the almost none character development (except for Prince Caspian himself) and the plots that made no sense, maybe someone can enlighten me?

Watched it on Saturday nite and it was quite good to be honest..Although it lacked the fantastical-magical-enchanting image or feel which the 1st one successfully provided, the 2nd one is stillway better than the 1st one..

The movie did at points fail to connect the scenes and at times seemed out of sort, but it still managed to entertain the audience with its good storyline and plot with great visualization..The action part although not ala-LOTR ( obviously) it did managed to have its own style and clearly justified it as a much better sequel with better action/war scene..

Loved the Bear..kept on appearing towards the end of the movie..So cute and funny..However there are parts where i dun really understand such as what does it mean by da 2elder siblings are not coming to Narnia anymore?how about when the ppl cross thru da tree?is it like a metaphor to show that they embrace the religion?

The call? i cant find in on Limewire... anyone has the song? tq

go buy OST la dun request illegal stuff here..will get warn~

if u see the torchlight, automatically u will remember this movie.

i watched it last night, it was nice nice...i am impress with the story line, the battle scene and the mouse is so so so cute haha, he reminds me of cat in the puss ( shrek )... this is a movie that cant be miss...

Ive watched it just now. Aih.
I give it 2.5 out of 5.
Dont waste ur money on this movie.

For some reason I don't really like this movie.
Hahaha, I don't really like the story plus I am totally against children taking up weapons.

Not bad but not good either. It is like 5/10

64% on Metacritic, which is 'generally favorable reviews'.

6.8 out of 10 based on votes.

I quote
"...A glorious medieval war movie. It's about war as the ultimate pitch of conflict that tries men's souls, and women's, too..."

70% on RottenTomateos, which is 'fresh'.
I quote
"...Todd McCarthy of Variety felt Adamson's direction had a "surer sense of cinematic values" and praised the improved special effects, the "timeless" locations and production design..."

At least its way better than the horrendous 'Speed Racer'.

Will definitely catch this film soon.

the show was ok.
there werent hot chick.
lucy downblouse when she sat in the tomb in the stone table when she squat down to pick up something.

7/10 from me. it was good. but nothing much to brag about

If you read the book, you'll know that Narnia could have been all been just the kids imagination. Therefore, the 2 older siblings will not be coming back to Narnia because they have reach an age whereby you do not believe in such things anymore and move on to something else. Its like you reach a certain age and do not believe in Santa Clause anymore.

As for the tree, its just a portal into our world. The Telmarines were actually from our world and Aslan just sent them back to our world but not the same timeline as the 4 kids timeline.

ah i c...its much clearer now with a proper explanation..I was having few assumptions bout tis movie at 1st but now its settled..

thanx alot for the explanation mate..Btw can u tell me in which scenes did the movie sumhow tried to convey its messages based on Christianity?Since it is a Christian book..

son of adam and eve?

LOL obviously

well i watched it on friday at klcc and what else can i say for this movie non other then the movie itself it a whole lot better then the 1st one and this time it was nice how they fight and stuff you know something like lord of the rings

yup..
the god of the river....those trees..n the catapult is quite similiar to lord of the rings....
but is quite of my expectation tat this movie is quite good...
btw...the trees is totally own with streching its root...^^

watched with my friend today. The second movie improved a lot. It a lot better than I expected. I love the mouse in hat. Haha very cute. There were couple of scenes made me and my friend very touching lol. Overall bravo to sequel. Cant wait for the third

Yes this is the movie you should catch.

Just came back watching it. Better than the 1st one.

Cute animals, battle clashes. Its great.

frankly I don't like this movie.
the title of the movie is Prince Caspian, the posters displayed the prince and Aslan, but these 2 characters are the least important compared to the 4 siblings in the movie. They can fight yeah... but is it logic that these school kids can battle against well trained soldiers?
Again, like most American movies, they love to bring out "miracles" when they are about to lose.... it's quite expected, almost like nuclear bombs in all zombie movies....
not even mention, this time Aslan only shows up in the end. And even when he appears, he had the super powers that he didn't have in the first episode. It's cool to awaken the sleeping trees, but it's not cool to summon water God (and this water God doesn't resembles anyone in the movie, i tot it was resembling Caspian's father but it wasn't).
seriously i was disappointed with their storylines

use spoiler la next time.

i personally don't quite like this movie. cuz first of all, i'm not so into fantasy line, which doesnt really make any sense -.-''
i prefer love fantasy stories, but not all these. maybe its bcuz i din watch the first narnia? i don't know..i don't like those actors/actress.. and don't like that lion either.. don't know whats wrong with me, maybe its bcuz of the smal kid keep on jumping in the cinema interrupt my mood, or maybe its bcuz of the malay girl sitting in front of me laughing for nothing.. i don't quite enjoy that movie.. but my sister said its nice cuz she like fantasy stuff..
so its all about self preference

good movie... but Susan Pevensie 1300 years older than Caspian?? WTF? ahaha

hmp hello ? the 4 siblings had been living for 1300 years in narnia as kings and queens .. of course they had masterry in combats...

yeah man this is just the movie. if you want to know how they were living 1300 years till now. i suggest you start reading the book then

they arent 1300 years old... its just a metaphor that Susan used to make out like you've fallen for a great-grandmother. And its just an additional scene.

Anyway, The movie didn't satisfies me with the question on how could an adult (they reign in Narnia for years right?) and become a kid again and not been affected by it. (Well.. the early scenes are the director's impressions on differentiating Peter's level of maturity compared to Edmund's. And they do it splendidly anyway.. but not that subtle) However, I like the story more if Lewis question the inner battle of a woman trapped in a little girl's body... like Anne Rice did

haha... I guess, it might not sound like a children's story anymore...

The movie is quite nice i think .. really lived up to the previous one ..in fact this wan have actually set a new height for the narnia movies ...

XD she pretty or not?

she's ugly.....
especially the scene where she shouted the archers to shoot... her face totally got smacked by ugly stick....

This movie's quite okay, maybe because I have a thing for the fantasy genre.
I feel the first movie was more kiddy, but the mood in the second movie was darker and grittier, which is better!

I believe a couple of years in the real world = 1000+ years in Narnia?
So, Susan's right in saying she's 1300 years older than Caspian.

The water god is one of the highlights in the movie and I loved it. Aslan is the "king" of the magical creatures, so nothing wrong if he can summon them to do his bidding.

The part I cant understand is why Aslan only choose to appear in the last possible moment (after so much people died). I guess he just want to feel important and wanted.

You can watch Narnia online at 101vdo.com

Why does Aslan only comes at the end. People do not believe in him anymore but with the return of the 4 kids brought back the Narnians faith in Aslan. Remember what Lucy said everyone couldn't see Aslan because they do not believe in him anymore. Its a question of faith. Thats why the Narnians books are based on Christian ideology. And the reason why Aslan can summon all the magical creatures is because he created Narnia its in the first book. Aslan is supposed to be like Jesus/God.

As for why the 4 kids know how to fight. They were actually adults when they left Narnia in the last movie. They ruled Narnia for sometime and the time of their ruling is the Golden Age of Narnia and they were involved in wars during their rule even though its only briefly mentioned in the book. Thats why you see the frustration in Peter when fought Caspian and found out that he is younger and weaker than Caspian. Thats why he wanted to prove himself with the night raid. Also, thats why he got into a fight at the beginning of the movie at the subway station because he's frustrated for being trapped in a teenager's body.

The only thing that can be considered ad error is at the end where Lucy said she will never understand the "thing" between Caspian and Susan but this can be explained as she did not fell in love before even when she's an adult. After all, in the books, none of the 4 kids got married.

No, it doesn't work like that. Everytime the children re-enters (meaning any of the 4 Pevensies, not ALL together at the same time as in the two movies ) Narnia, the time that has elasped varies.

So they're 1000 year old virgins?

Read somewhere that the third part will only feature 2 of the siblings. Caspian and Reepicheep (the rat) will be joining them as well.
I wonder what the movie director is going to do with the other 2 siblings? I guess no gaji for these 2 actor/actress...

The 2 older kids will not be coming back anymore. Peter only appears at the end on the last book which I doubt will be made into the movie. As for, Susan she moved to America and will never go back to Narnia. The next story will have Caspian, Edward, Lucy and Reepicheep on a sea vovage together with a new kid. No more huge battles or war scenes and more of an adventure story.

I've never read the books and didn't watch the first movie.

Thought this particular one was pretty cool. Wasn't expecting much,so just went in,sat back and enjoyed the adventure. Nice medieval battles,cool magic,nice effects, cute lil rats/mice which u just have to love
Come on,it's a fantasy movie. Lighten up a lil and don't take it too seriously and u'll enjoy it

no huge battles in the 3rd movie? ah damn it. it better not be a slow and boring movie since two guys already left and will be appearing at some part of the movie. but any how this second part of narnia was just simply better then the 1st one

I give 9/10 for this movie.. and everything XD

I know narnia is a good movie but I dunno why I rather wait for it to be on HBO or StarMovie.. :l
