Prince Caspian (2008) is the second of the Chronicles of Narnia, following The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. And while maybe not quite as good as the first one overall, it was better in some aspects.
First of all, Prince Caspian is not quite as much of a fairy tale as the first film. Not as many "delightful" characters, and more characters that have a bit of an edge to them. It is darker, and in that way, maybe a bit richer, than the first. It also really allows the child actors to acknowledge that they are older, and maybe more cynical, than when they first arrived in Narnia.
The special effects are great, probably better, that the first movie, but because it is the second movie, the produce less of a "Wow" effect, at least I thought so.
The story line is more complex, with good vs. evil shaded a bit more, and battle lines and bit more muddied.
Prince Caspian is totally worth seeing, but don't expect the same type of movie as the first Narnia flick, otherwise I think you will be disappointed.
