Prince Caspian
 

So, I went to see Prince Caspian today and thought it was just so-so. I'm afraid I kept comparing it to the book and it just came up short. It didn't help that I REALLY don't like the actors cast as Susan, Lucy and Edmund. Peter is okay, but the others just don't match my vision of them. Susan, for example, is supposed to be extremely beautiful with black hair. Lucy is supposed to be only so-so in looks, but with blonde hair. Edmund and Peter weren't really described all that much, but somehow the Edmund actor isn't quite up to snuff either, though I can't put my finger on it.

*nods* I am glad of that. So, for the sake of the actors' ages, I'm assuming Voyage of the Dawn Treader is next, then The Silver Chair? Do they intend to do The Magician's Nephew? If so, that one really should have been first.

I saw it last night. I thought it was pretty decent, though not as good as the first one.

Regarding the whole movie-v.-book argument, I'd prefer to just not get into that. There are many reasons why the movie can never be exactly like the book, and there are many reasons why the movie will never be as good as the book, so I'm just going to leave it alone. There's no point arguing myself into a hole about an issue that has no plausible solution, and I'm especially not going to fuss about something over which I have no control.

The first movie, "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe," has its merits. It was entertaining and it had brilliant effects. Maybe it wasn't what you imagined; maybe it was. It doesn't make a difference--it's all what the producers/directors wanted. The same thing goes with "Prince Caspian." It was a great movie in and of itself, and it made a great sequel to the movie that came before it. I like to look at movies that are based on books as just that--based on the book, not representing the book itself.

Oh, the special effects were really good, especially the griffins. The centaurs' movement was kind of off once or twice though.

i hate comparing books to movies. i mean yes i rea the book and
ya i thought the movie was missing some.but overall i thought
it was played out very well.

I saw it last night with my boyfriend and i thought he wouldn't enjoy it an he actually did!

I thought everyone they chose was casted well,although i just cant bring myself to like the girl who played Lucy.

although i was extremely annoyed with the Spanish accent Caspian had.

overall i thought it was worth seeing..i wasn't too fond of the centaur makeup this round it didn't look as good as the first movie.
All the other creatures looked good i just didnt like the way the Centaurs looked.

and i was mad that Warwick Davis was bad that was wrong..
i loved the little jokes in the movie as well.
the mouse was adorable.

I never read the book so i wont have a problem with just seeing it for what the director wanted to show it as. I love to see how poeple vision books. you know those little pieces of books that writers don't fill in so you imagination can. Anyway i'm looking forward to seeing this movie cause i love the first one. better then the bbc virson anyway. and there a actor doing a voice in it Eddie izzard. I really just watching it for him.

I haven't read the book, so my oppinion is strictly on the movie itself.
I thought it was really nice, and didn't get boring at anytime. I actually liked this one better than the first. :]

@Kiwii; Oh wow, that was Eddie Izzard? x]
I knew that voice was firmilar, I just couldn't remember where I'd heard it before.

I haven't went to see this movie yet, been too busy with work and studying for finals. It looks like it'll be a good movie so I might go out and see it this weekend.

I didn't like how much darker this one was from the first one : (

I like it better then the first movie.

There was more action and more fighting. I didn't like that they had a sort of Romance between Prince Caspian and Susan because this is not true of the books and I always imagined his first and only love was his wife. He's kind of dorky in the books so, Ben Barnes (Prince caspian) being hot in the movie was slightly off the mark, but in no way disappointing. In fact it made it quite worth going. I really like the way the the guy who plays Edmund acts. He seems a lot like Edmund. However I don't like Lucy's actress since her nose is way to turned up considering how Lucy is. Susan is pretty okay. Not as tall and as beautiful as I envisioned her, but she does a fine job making you like her.

Whatever though I can't wait for the third one to come out.

I've found that when seeing movies based on books.. it's best to just pretend the book doesn't exist at all! Luckily it's been so long since I read the Narnia books that I didn't have that problem.

As a movie, I enjoyed it SO MUCH MORE than the first one. The visual effects were so much smoother and it wasn't distracting like in the first. And I like how the 4 kids have matured. The little girl is gonna be hawt when she gets older.

I think the most stellar quality of this movie was the costume design. With every new outfit revealed I was just more in love.

There is a lot of missing sequences that connect this one to the next but that is because it is a movie. Just in case if they can't complete the third film, there is no wholes in it. I try explaining that to die hard narnian fans, but they never listen lol...

It does get darker as the books go a long and so the movie will get darker.

I liked it. It is well done and I really enjoyed the characters. Nothing bad I can say about it really.
