Rating: 1.0
Completely butchered it.
How can anyone who read the book like this movie?I realize that in film adaptions of books you have to cut things out. I have mostly resigned myself to the fact that certain liberties will be taken. That being said, I am still completely shocked and disgusted at this version of Prince Caspian. I won't go into everything they did wrong but here are some things that really bothered me:1) the scene where they attack the castle - I mean, REALLY? You leave out so much great stuff from the book and add...this?2) the romance between Caspian and Susan - there was not a HINT of this in the book at all.3) Peter and Caspian constantly going at it - again, not a hint of this in the book, Caspian is always bowing to Peter's authority4) the witch comes back - yes, they discussed bringing her back in the book. NO, they did not actually do it.I'll spare you the rest of my (very long) list, but let me just say that I feel sorry for everyone who watched it with me because I spent most of the time yelling at the tv screen. It just burns me up that they had all the components to make a great movie - an awesome cast of actors, good costuming, beautiful scenery and sets, a HUGE budget - and this is the best they could come up with.Do yourself a favor - skip this movie and read the book instead.
