"The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" opens in theaters this weekend. It's almost certain to finish in first place. It's based on one of the books by beloved author C.S. Lewis. If you remember, the first film in this emerging series of movies bested a much more hyped film in Peter Jackson's "King Kong."
I'm sure the filmmakers would love to get a movie out of each book in "The Chronicles of Narnia," but I've read them and some of them just won't make good movies. This one, however, should make a terrific movie. Reviews have been largely positive. I expect this movie to be one of the biggest movies of the summer.
It's rated PG and targeting fantasy film lovers, family audiences, fans of the first film, young adults and people suffering from "Lord of the Rings" withdrawal. I don't know how intense the battle scenes are, but this movie might not work for small children. I would definitely recommend parental discretion.
For the record, the next film in this franchise will be "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader." It won't hit theaters until 2010.

the makers of Prince Caspian kept to the original story better than i would have expected... i had heard they were going to make it into a silly pure-action flick, but thankfully this was not so much the case
