I am Prince Caspian...and I'm hot!

[hils]

I appreciate that most people out there think I have crap taste in films. I get told so on a semi-frequent basis.

I really should stop myself reading what other people think of films though, otherwide I'm going to wind up just liking what everyone else does


I should point out that I have both read the book and seen the BBC adaptation but they were both a long time ago.

I don't expect a lot when I go to the cinema. Mostly I just look to be entertained, and this film entertained me, therefore I'm happy. There was nothing especially offensive about the acting (the kids are better than the ones in Harry Potter) and it had big fights and nifty CGI.

Yes, I will admit it was a tad too long and some of the filler scenes could have been cut or condensed. And, yes, they ripped some of the end battle from Lord of the Rings but that made me kind of happy

Overall I liked it. So there!

And I liked The Happening even though everyone else hated it. So there!

Been a very long time since I've read the books, and yes, there did seem to be a lot of LOTR shots (my daughter and I picked them all out as we watched, lol!) But I very much enjoyed it (more than the first one actually) and am quite obsessed with Caspian :D Ben Barnes is slated for an upcoming film of Dorian Gray...and I can't wait!

Yeah, I thought it was better than the first one too

Also, Ben Barnes as Dorien Gray? Rawr!

Stuart Townsend will always be Dorian Gray for me.

Growl...

But League of Extrodinary Gentlemen was shit!

Besides, Stuart Townsend is Lestat ;)

[flickums.livejournal.com]

No, Quicksilver, he isn't. Do you really want to start that debate again?

And yes, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was shit but Stuart Townsend made it watchable by being pretty and poncy.

So there!

Clearly I am not the only one with bad taste in films
