@Evelyn: I came up on Narnia quite late (sometime in last 2-3 years), but I can understand you completely.

I guess in the books, there is this whole “High King Peter of Narnia” and all kings below him kind of situation. I think that is why Peter is OK with another king, and Caspian places himself below Peter and Edmund. But I agree, the movie version is much better. So is the climax.

I am still a bit unsure about the Dawn Trader, given some “situations” (slavery and all) in it. But it is a movie on a very very large canvas, and given how they are making movies more “adult”, I think they can handle it. What do you think?

BTW, welcome to my blog (though a bit late response). Keep reading other reviews, and comments are welcome.

I got my first copy of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe at age 5 (And yes, I did read it as soon as I got it. I first began reading at 4 years of age, about 10 and a half years ago.) and have been a die-hard fan of all the books in The Chronicles of Narnia since. Though moviemakers could have stayed more true to the book and still have made a fantastic movie, the extra elements that they added made sense and added to the entire effect. Prince Caspian has long been my favorite book in the Chronicles, but I always felt that certain parts didn’t really make sense. For example, if I was a Pevensie, I would’ve been devestated to leave Narnia after living and ruling there for so many “years,” but in the book the children seem to adapt much too easily. Second, I never could understand how Peter, Edmund and Caspian got along so well. Wouldn’t Edmund and Peter, Peter especially, still be in “king mode” and not want someone else on “their” turf? And what about Caspian? How could he give up so much of his power so easily? Andrew Adamson and the writers of the movie also noticed these things and I’m glad they did! They added a bit of a power struggle between the boys and also showed the Pevensies in England, missing Narnia. All in all, this movie was fantastic, as was the first one. I look forward to the movie version of The Voyage of The Dawn Treader! =]

@Amrita: Really? I mean, I know it was kids’ movie and all, but it was a cute movie, much more faithful to book than Prince Caspian. Err… have you read the books?

I really didn’t care for the fist installment it wasn’t as bad as say the Fantastic Four (but then, which movie is?) but I felt zero interest in this one. ok… on the list it goes.

Oh well, kissing scene apart, there is a bit more realistic fighting and battles in Caspian than in the first part, but it is still Narnia, a kids’ book, so don’t expect a lot. Can’t tell you more without giving away the plot.

But then again, you haven’t watched Caspian yet? :O Where have you been?
