When the original "Chronicles of Narnia" grossed hundreds of millions of dollars worldwide, a sequel was a foregone conclusion.
C.S. Lewis' story continues with the four English schoolchildren, siblings during WWII, thrust back to the land of Narnia, now a millennium after the events of the earlier film.
The rightful heir to the throne, Prince Caspian, is in exile after a usurper has taken over the throne.
In a movie like this, over-interpretation of the plot will get in the way with the fun, especially in the astonishing sequence when the army of talking animals, little people, giant birds and our heroes invade the castle where the evil king resides.
Stunt after stunt spills across the screen.
This part of the "Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" is a thrilling sword-and-shield adventure with superb special effects and an incredible sequence in the clash between good and evil armies.
It should rule the roost, for a week, at least, before "Indiana Jones" swings into theaters.
