Product: The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (Two Disc Edition + BD-Live) [Blu-ray] (2008)
Rating: 1.0
Not meaningful; this movie ruined a promising series.
This movie is unfortunately different from the book as others have detailed. For myself, I found that key Christian symbolism (the purpose of these stories) was removed, and in its place is far too much emphasis on a statement from Aslan that things never happen the same way twice. Beyond having no great meaning, ironically, the scene occurs twice, with Aslan saying the same thing twice about things not happening the same way twice. Worthless. Where is the emphasis on Nikabrik's disbelief in the Narnians' tales of a savior, and where is the emphasis on the faith of Caspian, Cornelius, and Trufflehunter in a savior that lived many years ago who not only died but lived again and will return? Their dialogue should have been the highlight of the film as it was for me in the book.Incidentally, who else hated the repeated nauseating Reepicheep jokes? "You're a mouse!!" Ugh. They ruined such a great character. But there are too many complaints about this film to list them all.I intend to own the version of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe from the same series. I was so pleased with its faithfulness to the novel, and I looked forward to seeing the other books adapted. However, despite the good things they did in Prince Caspian, overall it was too disappointing to watch again, and I have no desire to watch The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
