The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
05/22/2008 Posted by Tribalfan
Fans of C. S. Lewis' books, The Chronicles of Narnia, especially the purists will be disappointed with Hollywood's latest attempt. If you've read the books you will find yourself saying: "That's not how it went!" It was hard to fully concentrate on the movie when I kept thinking, "But that came later! " Or, "They left that part out!" Unable to gain familar footing I followed the movie in sporadic fashion, attempting to put certain scenes where they belonged while doing away with others althogether, especially the castle attack. While it contained great fighing sequences it felt uncessary and more like padding to flesh out the film. The romance scene between Susan and Prince Caspian served only to annoy me because it just never happened. All in all, the film was good, just a bit messy because nothing was where it was suppose to be. See it, you WILL like it, especially if you've never read the books
Pros: Good acting, especially the fight scenes
Cons: Too much Hollywood for me
