Fantasy
4 stars
Enjoyable, but Jim and I agreed it’s not as good a story as the two previous Narnia movies. This time, the two youngest kids, plus a rotten little cousin, get called to Narnia to help King Caspian locate seven lords and their seven magical swords which are needed to prevent some evil darkness from spreading throughout the world. I’m a bit hazy on the details of the dark island and the weird green mist, but to stop it, they need the seven swords. This film just didn’t seem all that exciting, save for a huge sea serpent and we liked the one-legged guys. I don’t recall any exciting battles or anything noteworthy, just an annoying little cousin who should have been tied up and left in the hull of the ship! But the visual effects were stunning as usual, the acting was decent, and there’s a nice little moral of the story for young ones. (BTW, that annoying little cousin, Will Poulter, costarred in Son of Rambow which is a really cute Brit flick you should add to your Netflix queue). Good movie, just not as great as the two previous films.
