The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
I have studied C.S. Lewis and his masterpiece series The Chronicles of Narnia for some time and have come to know and love these books in side out. I feel that Disney has made an EXCELLENT adaptation of his second novel in the series, going by order published. If you are a fan of the books the few scenes they had to cut for time are really not missed and the information gleamed from these chapters are given later. And if the viewer is not totally familiar with the book they are definitely not left confused.Compared to The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe it is much more action packed and the young stars play they parts perfectly. My favorite character Edmund is much more like-able in this movie and has wisdom gained from his trials in the last installment is apparent. Peter grows in this movie in his ability to give the throne over to Caspian at the end, as there were some power struggles between the two throughout the film. The love story between Susan and Caspian nicely balances this action packed films, and though corny at times it helps move the film along. And again we see young little faithful Lucy not being understood by her fellow siblings, except now Edmund is on her side, as she thinks she sees Aslan early on. But her faith prevails and they are able to gain the aid of the Great Lion.All in all, my favorite film of the year and now a new addition to my all time favorite films.
