Prince Caspian has been at the top of our Netflix list for months, and we finally got to watch it Saturday night. It was a thumbs up from the whole family. Prince Caspian is a long one, 2 1/2 hours, but it’s full of action, adventure and some seriously epic battle sequences.  I think the movie is generally well-acted, as was the first movie, though I’m still not a big fan of the actress that plays Lucy.  I’m guessing that’s just my cynical nature not getting the doe-eyed, innocent role she plays 🙂  I think the battle scenes are intense but “OK” for kids. I think it shows the reality of battle. People do die, but the movie leaves out the graphic details that would haunt dreams.  Sam (age 6) loved it and Joe (age 9) passed the sleep test. I know a movie is too much if he pops out of bed a bunch that night. He didn’t for this one. Rent it and enjoy a good family movie night.
