The Post-Gazette reviews movies from a family perspective:

'The Chronicles of Narnia:Prince Caspian'

Rated: PG.

Suitable for: 9- or 10-year-olds and up.

What you should know: This is the sequel to the popular "Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." It is darker and more intense, and many critics have complained that it's closer to a PG-13 than PG.

Language: Nothing notable.

Sexual situations and nudity: A kiss.

Violence/scary situations: The rating is for epic battle action and violence, and while you don't see much blood, you know injuries or deaths occur. School children tussle, a character escapes an assassination attempt ordered by a family member and another is rescued after being bound and tossed into the water. The most intense scenes involve a castle raid -- some outsiders are trapped and left behind -- and a violent, protracted, big-scale battle.

Drug or alcohol use: Negligible.
