A flawed but admirably ambitious sequel that asks its young characters (and audience) to learn a hard lesson: you can’t go home again .

The biggest complaint from fans and casual viewers alike is the sidelining of Aslan (voiced by Liam Neeson). The great lion is an absentee deity for 80% of the film, appearing only in cryptic whispers to Lucy. While this serves the theme of “finding faith in dark times,” it drains the movie of its magical center. You feel his absence, and not always in a thematically satisfying way.

The film opens with a brilliant hook. The Pevensie siblings—Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy—are yanked back from a dreary English train station into a Narnia they don't recognize. 1,300 years have passed. Their castle is a ruin, their legend is a half-remembered fairy tale, and the land is now ruled by the tyrannical Telmarines.

Forget the tame skirmish at the end of Wardrobe . Prince Caspian delivers medieval warfare that rivals Lord of the Rings . The nighttime siege of Aslan’s How is claustrophobic and brutal. The final duel between Peter and the villainous King Miraz (Sergio Castellitto, wonderfully sneering) is a rain-soaked, exhausting clash of broadswords. When the trees finally “wake up,” it’s a genuinely awe-inspiring spectacle.
