It would help, but here's the basic run down of the first movie:

Four kids stumble into another world through the back of a wardrobe. An evil witch queen has set a permanent winter over narnia. The four kids (2 brothers, 2 sisters) help a bunch of animal friends to defeat the witch and reign over Narnia until late adulthood. Time passes differently in Narnia, so when they come back to the real world they are kids again. Also, there's a gian lion that represents jesus who sacrificed himself to stop the queen (a demonic figure).

There was also a prophecy about the kids. Now you know everything you needed to.

The eldest brother is the "High King." Edmund is the third oldest and was tempted by the witch to betray his siblings in the first movie, but he repented. They each got magical weapons and such as well which they left in Narnia when they went home.

Prince Caspian takes place 1300 years after the first movie, so none of the other characters matter all. The plots don't match up much either, though some of the meaning behind different scenes may be lost on you. It should still be able to be enjoyable.

OMG GUMSHOE, you said no spoilers!1!!!!!

None really for the new movie, ok I lied I mentioned a few lines. If you haven't seen the first, too bad, plus its page 2. I'm a heartless cruel bastard stringing people along to ruin their movie experiences.

Yeah, the book was amazing. I need to go see the movie :(

Not as heartless and cruel and more movie experience ruining than the people who bring their 1 year olds to the theaters. I don't know what it is about bringing a baby to a place with loud noises and a lot of up close motion that seems like a good idea. Sometimes I think they just want other people to suffer as much as they have to with dealing with it.

Yeah don't sweat it saying what happens. You're in the clear.

Speaking of which. There was a baby in the theater while I watched this movie. There was a cell phone that went off every 20 minutes and the person took the calls IN THE THEATER. The kids sitting immediately behind us had swords and were fighting the entire time and the group in from of us were whisper mongerers (you know "this is going to happen, I bet he dies, who was that again"). And then to top it off the speakers started poping and crackling half way through the movie.

And I still enjoyed being there aside from all of that, so it must have been a very good movie.

I mean it did get four stars.

That's whose word I'm taking.

Which is more of a reason to watch it.

I've always hated cs lewis's style of writing. It's very rushed and doesn't have enough detail to hold my interest. I saw the first Narnia movie in my fantasy literature class and I was surprised by how much detail they added. Probably one of the only times I could say the movie was absolutely better than the book.

I've never really read Caspian. I feel like the movie is going to be another generic good vs. evil fantasy tale. I'll probably end up seeing it though.

Ok, just saw it, it was great, as you said, the battle scenes were amazing, especially that flanking move, i still cumming from that scene, BUT, my hard-on of justice almost died, along with my entirely when susan gone and fucked up the ending.

OH I'M 1337 YEARS OLD AND YOU'RE LIKE 20 YEARS OLD LAWL WE CAN NEVER BE
*walks away*
*JK KISSES HIM*
*OK NOW SHE LEAVES AND WILL NEVER COME BACK*

srsly fuck susan for ruining that shit.

Also, caspian sounds like he'll be Antonio Banderas II

I think it's Mr. Thomas. The first one was so silly.

I just saw it yesterday ( satuerday) i liked it but it was really confusing IMO. The ( Spoilers) battle seen was badass. The one problem was the people in the theater. Everyone kept geting up and sitting down. Espiacly yhe little kids in front of me. God i wanted to punch them so bad.

This is not true.

My beef with the first one is that there wasn't any blood or gore, but there were battle scenes. Make up your mind! Do you want it to be a kids movie or an epic fantasy movie? You can't do a battle scene without blood and gore, the two go hand and hand!

Also, not a fan of making children the heroes. Nothing says adults can't be heroes either, just look at LOTR. Kickass movies, they should be the standard for epic fantasies, and the first one doesn't hold up to it at all.

The first one was pretty good, so I'll probably see this when it comes out on DVD.

Are the beavers from the first movie in this one?

I will not see it because my local movie critic gave it a bad review and he is a movie genius so I will believe him over the words of others, Hrmph.

Is why I never had and indrest for Narnia

Hated the books (only read LW&W, then the first chapter of some weird-ass one about furries in a giant bubble bath that made no sense at all), and I fell asleep during the first movie.

Probably not for me, right? :/

The book was better, but I liked the final battle. I disliked how they tried to make it seem so much like The Two Towers.

what?
no pedo-goats, this is an outrage!! an outrage i say

Doctor Cornelius: His mother was a black dwarf

It does look better from the commercials, but I feel like I should read the books before watching the narnia films. I usually like books better, but if I see the movie beforehand I'll know the whole story and it'll just be boring.

I read the book already, and it's meh. So I'll probably be seeing some other movie instead, like "Indiana Jones" or "The Incredible Hulk". Thanks for your feedback on it though. I might consider suggesting it to some of my nieces.

I saw it yesterday... and it wasn't the best movie I've seen, neither the worst.
It was just... average.
I felt like I was missing something.
