Skip it. The first Narnia movie is excellent, one of the best family-friendly movies of 2005. The best thing I can say about The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian is they’ve improved on the special effects. Not much happens for the first hour (which will bore most kids), and when the action does pick up, it’s just eye candy. Too much emphasis on meaningless battles sequences and not enough on character and story.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is one of the most engaging family movies I saw is 2005, with CGI characters that seem like the real thing. It’s a fairy tale with a message, and it works.
