TRUE DUDES REVIEW:

I almost really liked this movie. Almost. As it is, great special effects can not compensate for a weak script, bad acting, and an extreme lack of character development. While the first film was a kids flick all the way, this sequel tries too hard to mix adult situations with children’s humor.

The special effects are among the best I have ever seen. Truly top notch work. I wish they had taken some of that strength and put it in to the other aspects of the film. All of the main actors are back. The problem is that though they are older they are exactly the same. The script tries nothing new and neither do the actors. Putting them in grown up situations only magnifies this shortcoming. While the film does have a number of exciting battle scenes, they are under minded by wacky comic relief that feels very out of place. None of the new characters are giving anything to do except spout cute and funny bits of dialouge in all the wrong places. And since this is a movie for the kids, can someone tell me why it has a run time of nearly 3 hours? The last two reels are next to pointless. Don’t get me wrong, the film is not a total loss and if you enjoyed the first you are likely to enjoy this one as well.

True Dudes gives Prince Caspian 3 out of 5 middle fingers.
