Product: The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (Two Disc Edition + BD-Live) [Blu-ray] (2008)
Rating: 4.0
Good insight into God, but movie could have been better
I was puzzled on this movie as to what rating to give it. On the plus side, it has a wonderful insight into the nature of God. The reason that we dont often see God is that we are not looking for Him or we are just not looking in the right places. In the movie, the Characters did not see Aslan, but that was because they were not looking for him. Only Lucy was able to find Aslan because she wanted to see him.The other excellent point the movie made was that we need to wait on God. King Peter made the mistake of not waiting on Aslan. He made a bad military move that cost him a lot.It was just a little too predictable for me. For example: Prince Caspian found out that his father was killed by Miraz and he wanted revenge. This is used way too much in movies. Cant we be a little creative here? Images of the Princess Bride filled my head. "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die."Another odd thing to me was that in the 1st one, the children were only used when they were not in Narnia. Once they went into Narnia, they were quite a bit older. This enabled them to have the strength to weild weapons, and the knowledge and wisdom to rule a kingdom.In this second installment, they remain children throughout and we are offered no explanation on this. Was this because we were to draw the conclusion that where we are weak, God is strong? Or was it that the older versions of the children were not available for the shooting of the film?This one was way better than the first. Not even a comparrison. The first one was a kids movie, but in this one, The Lion Witch and Wardrobe grew up. But the movie as a whole did not work well for me.I will not be sad if another is not made.
