The Chronicles of Narnia : Prince Caspian

After 2 1/2 years, they are back. The kids version of Lord of the Rings.

They kena mobilized, not by sms but when Prince Caspian blew Queen Susan's magical horn.

This transported them back to Land of Narnia, but this time round, it was torn apart and narnians hid themselves deep in the woods.

The Talmerines, led by the savage King Miraz attempt to kill PC when his child was born.

As the legal heir to the throne, Caspian fled into the Woods, blew the horn and it all started again. A gathering of wwarfs, mousketeers, man horse, man moo moo, giant flying birds, giant, bears, tigers, etc.

Several "I see you buay song, You see me buay song" seen in this sequel. Miraz eyeing the throne, Lord Donnon and others also waiting for their chances, the General also enduring Miraz's tyranncy. King Peter and the rest having differences to defend or attack. Peter and Caspian in their own stand. Even the dwarf wanted a quick win and nearly succumb to getting help from the evil Queen whom was banished.

2 major battle scenes. The suprise attack as wanted by King Peter. This happened in Miraz's HQ and some hiccups here and there, see narnians lost their lives. As they regrouped and blaming who's fault was it. Miraz was preparing a full attack.

Peter send Lucy in the woods to find Aslan. To give her more time, as advised by Caspian, Peter should challenge Miraz to a duel and this will decide who's army will surrender. Knowing that Miraz will be pressured and too HL to refuse the duel. The duel seems like just a "plot bridge" to allow Lord Donnon to kill him off after he was injured in the duel.

Then the big bang battle begins. Peter and Caspian managed to hold off their first attack troops as Caspian destroy the foundations of the tomb, sending them tumbling underground. But then the captapult attacl with the full army charging towards them, the tomb entrance collasped, they cannot retreat.

Still got Aslan. He summoned the trees to crush them and destroyed the catapults. As Lord Donnon retreats back to the river, thinking that will help them. But then if Aslan can summoned trees, he can do that to the water.

The Narnians and Talmerines living happily ever after. This set the story for the next sequel, if there is as Peter and Susan probably won't be there. The Chronicles of Narnia : The voyage of the Dawn Treader. 7/10
