Once back in Narnia they have to battle to free the Narnia's who have gone into hiding from the Telmarine race who have taken over Narnia. Along the way they meet Prince Caspian (played by a very pretty but strangely accented Ben Barnes), a young Telmarine prince who is fleeing from Miraz, his cruel uncle who wants to kill Caspian so that his newly born son can be heir to the throne. Together the four children, Prince Caspian and some interesting Narnian characters put an army together in which to try and overthrow the oppressive Telemarine rein.
This movie is a lot darker and moodier then the first and is ultimately entertaining but there are too many drawn out battle scenes and I feel it could have ended a good 20 minutes earlier. The main let down is the acting by the four main characters, often it feels a little flat and they don't seem to do justice to the action packed story line and dramatic cinematography and CGI.
