Amazing!!!
This movie is amazing! I've read the books, luv them, and the story is followed very well. The original books are fantastic fairy tales of other worlds and mythical creatures, but the movie takes the 1 dimensional story and gives it life. It gives charcter to the characters, who in the book are a little flat. They lack personality, dont struggle with right and wrong, and dont really have disagreements. like i said, the book is a fairy tale, and is written as fairy tales are.*SPOILERS BELOW!!!*In the movie, there is the added power struggle between caspian and peter, the romance between caspian and susan, the advancement of edmund by bringing him from simply being the younger brother to a young man who can handle himself without the help of his older siblings. And of course dont forget lucy, who has grown up quite a bit from the last movie but even after all they've bin through, she still faces the dilemma of being treated as an ignorant child.If you want to compare the pevensies of the lion the witch and the wardrobe against to those of prince caspian, there are some significant changes. peter as grown used to his role as high king, and is a bit focused on having the power and being leader. Susan has matured in that she is now a useful person to have around in a fight. In the first movie she is involved with aslan at the stone table and misses most of the battle, but in this movie, she gets in the midst of the battle, fighting alongside the boys. Edmund has also grown up a lot. In the first movie he is mostly seen in peters shadow after he joins aslans side of the war. in this movie, he has a swordfight one-on-one where he shows his skill as a swordsman. Later he shows more of his prowess as a warrior during the raid on miraz's castle.lucy, a main focus in the first movie, being the person who discovers the land in the closet, is now older, but unlike the others, her faith in aslan is still very much alive. she is the person who rediscovers him, and brings him the the front of the battle.The actors in this movie are very convincing, and while watching, pay attention to the music. it is very good and gives emotion to every scene. Speaking as a girl, i also feel the need to point out that the actors are not half bad to look at. just throwing that out there... :)
