Narnian History Rewritten by Hollywood
I gave this installment of "The Chronicles of Narnia" two stars only because of the special effects. The story really departed from the book and could have been much better had it followed the book more closely. In the book, Prince Caspian was a young boy, NOT an adult. The Disney folks only made him an adult so they could work in a love interest with Queen Susan. I don't object to a love interest in a movie if it belongs. In this case, it was totally uncalled for. Finally, too many scenes were taken out that were in the book. For example, Aslan's romp with Bacchus and the Mynaids. Other scenes were substituted that were not in the book at all, such as the over-long battle scene in King Miraz's castle. In this installment of the Narnian Chronicles, Disney has rewritten history. For shame, Disney!
