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

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!

I liked it, but not as much as I liked the first one. Overall, I think that they're doing a much better job with these adaptations than most book adaptations. They cut a lot of bits that I really liked, and I felt that they needed more interpersonal interaction.

Because it felt like there was a lot of Peter bashing in this film, and Peter and Susan are my favorites. Poor Susan. :(

That said, the battle scenes were fantastic. Ash and I were kvetching about how poorly plotted that battle scenes were in Alexander, so when we went to see this is was like WHOA! YES! *fist pump* It was enjoyable and entertaining. What else can you ask?

Oh, and Peter/Caspian slashy. OMG.
