Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian [Spoilers]

I saw the movie yesterday and I thought it was a good. A bit surprised at the lack of crowds, but I'm guessing since Iron Man was sold out, that's where everyone was.

Anywho, the movie was good and I did enjoy the plot line but I had a couple of questions about the movie if anyone could answer,

If in doubt: A wizard did it.
Well, a Magician, a Witch, a certain christ-figure lion or whatever the emperor was called.

Dear GOD, Caspian was a dreadful actor. I liked this movie a lot better than I liked the first one, but since I found the first movie (and the books) about as interesting as dry rot, that's not saying much. He just kind of strutted around and I was expecting to see him run slo-mo through the river wearing boxer briefs while an announcer talked about Hanes His Way.

So who else noticed the hilarious bear that talked kind of like Homestar Runner? My dad and I were cracking up over it.

I loved that they kept the Bulgy Bear. They made a big effort to get the little touches right, and that bear is pretty much spot-on the book. He is described as looking "uncommonly silly" and although I didn't notice it myself, apparently he even sucked on his paws as described in the book.

I was in tears of laughter when he said, 'FOH NAWNIA!'

Yeah, they made a big effort trying to keep 'small touches' while utterly making the plot line SUCK. AWFUL. It was just awful! I should never have read the book! It would've been a better movie if I hadn't read it!

If they Ruin the Horse and his Boy i'll cry.

We don't know if Horse and his Boy will be made into a movie especially since the first book (The Magician's Nephew) was skipped by both BBC and the Narnia movies. I have the strange feeling that Narnia movies will finish at Vogage Of The Dawn Trader and not showing The Last Battle just like the BBC version of the Narnia books did.

My understanding was that they're doing the books 'out of order' so that they can grow with the kids involved (namely Edmund and Lucy). I doubt Disney is going to be like the BBC versions, and I sincerely hope they don't crap out at Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

Eustace is just such an annoying prat. Jills even worse.

They seem to be doing them in written order, not chronological (if the next two rumoured films are true, any way).
So Horse and his boy will be... Fifth.
Presumably followed by Magicians Nephew, and The Last Battle.

Saying that, there has apparently been a lot of... whining, about the Last Battle and The Horse And His Boy, with some people (JK Rowling, amongst others) completely missing the point of Susan not returning to Narnia, and apparent stereotyping in the latter.
I couldn't roll my eyes enough.

Right now, the order is:

1. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
2. Prince Caspian
3. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (already in pre-production, scheduled for release in 2010)

None of the other ones are technically scheduled yet for production.

Deviation from the book, eh?
Can I take a guess and say that Mike Newell directed it? XD
(HP joke)

I've yet to see the movie, but thanks for the warnings.
I hate it when people take movies out of context from the book. XP

Out of all the people who seriously could not act in this movie I think the guy who played Caspian is the only on who at least tried.
I didn't think the movie was all that bad but I mean some of the deviations from the book made me just go :roll:

I read that, then saw the movie, and when that bear said it I seriously laughed my head off. XD

The mice annoyed me....."-_-
But hey, they need something to keep the kiddies occupied....

*Lol at the idea that Harry Potter was the first book to be murdered in "Translation"*

LOTR was pretty good, I feel, so no, I'm not referring to that.

Even if unintended, or just quoting verbatim lines from the book, the level of God in this one was quite a fair bit higher:

Maybe before he will show himself to us we have to prove ourselves to him or something.
