Plot Summary: The brats are back in Narnia this time with an annoying male cousin who sounds like an old woman.
Review: I must stress that I have not read the books nor am I fan of this franchise; I do like fantasy movies however. In this third adventure, only two of the kids are brought to Narnia to help Caspian (from part 2) to deal with some phantom evil. Right from the beginning we are given an extremely questionable plotline as we are told that there is an island that seems to be the origin of evil and only returning seven magic swords will stop the evil. That may sound fine and dandy until you realize that the swords were given away by Aslan (god) to the human lords of Narnia willingly...thus this created the evil to begin with? Say what? So the kids have to run around trying to fight monsters and danger to repair something that never needed to happen to begin with while getting no help from the person that started it who is allegedly good and all-knowing?! Other than the whole plot being pointless, there are some good scenes and the overall adventure is fun while you actually feel some depth from the brats for once. The acting is good, the action and pacing is better than the other films for the most part, and the effects were decent enough. I would have rated this movie much higher if not for the plot problems, but if you can get over the paradoxical quest the kids go on or a fan of this franchise, you will more than likely enjoy this one even more.
Notable Moment: When the Eustace character is first bonding with Reepicheep and learning to fight is kind of touching.
Final Rating: 5.5/10
