The four English children familiar to the viewer, if not from the books of Clive Staples Lewis, then, according to the previous film of Andrew Adamson, a year after the events described in the "Leo, the Sorceress and the Wardrobe" events again appear in Narnia, which, however, underwent significant changes during this time - animals almost do not speak, trees do not dance, and the tyrant Miraz (extremely speaking for a Slavic ear a surname) manages all. Caused by the illegally deposed Prince Caspian, the quartet immediately turns into the ancient queens and kings of Narnia and proceeds to save this world from a vile dictator.
Fortunately, in December 2005, marked by the release of the first part of the Septuagint about Narnia, I was not yet obliged to watch the lion's share of the domestic rolling repertoire, because the second part (in order of publication) was more than enough. Suffice it to understand the following: a) Caspian (and, obviously, the whole franchise is removed) - an attempt to answer "Disney" on "The Lord of the Rings", a fan of which I, too, however, is not; b) this attempt is unsuccessful due to changes made to the original Lewis, and people who are clearly inferior to him in talent; c) "Caspian" is suitable for viewing by children up to secondary school age, but it is unlikely to be remembered by them more than any "Spiderwick Chronicles". Perhaps the only bright spot of the film are the mouse-knights - here in all its glory appeared the talent of Adamson, involved in the creation of a wonderful Cat in Boots from Shrek. But this, whatever one may say, is not enough for 2.5 hours of screen time.
