One year after their incredible adventures in the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Peter, Edmund, Lucy and Susan Pevensie return to Narnia to aid a young prince whose life has been threatened by the evil King Miraz. Now, with the help of a colorful cast of new characters, including Trufflehunter the badger and Nikabrik the dwarf, the Pevensie clan embarks on an incredible quest to ensure that Narnia is returned to its rightful heir.
What critics thought
A darker, more action-heavy sequel that split critics between those who welcomed its grittier ambition and those who felt it traded Narnia's wonder for relentless battle sequences. Trade press praised the improved filmmaking craft and stronger performances, while others objected to the film's tonal shift away from the first film's sense of magic — a concern the producers themselves later acknowledged publicly. Underlying messages about violence and cultural representation drew pointed criticism from several reviewers.
“it's a dark tale, and the climactic battle scenes go on at length.”
Leonard Maltin·Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide
“the four kids overall have more character and are therefore more interesting to watch than they were before, and Italian actor Castellitto registers strongly with evil that's implacable but not overplayed.”
Todd McCarthy·Variety
“basically, this is a movie about kids who go into another world and dimension and spend the whole time killing people.”
Mick Lasalle·San Francisco Chronicle
“all the heroes have British accents while the Telmarines are all decidedly Mediterranean in appearance and inflection”
