Yesterday I went to watch a fantasy type of film... "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian". Obviously this film is meant to be darker, more intense and more violent than the first (titled "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe"). Also, this film focuses strongly on the 'loss of innocence' theme. This time round, the main protagonist is Prince Caspian X who is faced with the dilemnia on whether to defeat his uncle Miraz to avenge his late father, or spare his life. The four Penvensie kids overall have more character and are therefore more interesting to watch than they were in the first film.
And the climatic battle is much bloodier and more violent than the first one; while there was a battle between different types of animals in the first film, this film portrays the Telmarine army as a brutal force making use of catapults and swords to overpower the Narnian citizens. And yes, the death toll in this film is much higher than that of the first one.
The only scene I felt was most unnecessary was the brief cameo of the White Witch, being briefly resurrected via an ice block by the black dwarf, the werewolf and the bird-faced hag. Then again, I believe that scene was meant to portray the vulnerability within Caspian and how close he was to setting the White Witch free (something like opening Pandora's Box), before Edmund came to shatter the wall in time before a major disaster could take place.
Still, this film is quite worth the watch for both young and old, I give it 4 out of 5 stars :-)
