Though Prince Caspian was visually stunning, there were a few details that left me a little confused. Apparently Narnia has been occupied by 15th century Italy since the Pevensies left. Lord Miraz was played by prominent Italian actor Sergio Castellitto and many of his men were also of Italian or Spanish descent. This wasn't my problem though. My problem was with Caspian's accent - where was he supposed to be from? It was kind of all over the place and he couldn't cover it up with his looks alone.
Another problem with the movie was the storytelling. It was covered up by A LOT of battle scenes, some of them were impossible to see because they took place at night. I also found it disturbing how much destruction (including a fight to the death) they were able to fit into a family movie.
Other than that, the movie was excellent. It had a much darker, serious feel to it, but the same humor and heart of the first one is still present. Here is my conclusion - I enjoyed it. Prince Caspian was hot. You will be entertained.
