Rating: 1.0
VERY BETRAYING TO THE BOOK!!!
I first watched Prince Caspian in theaters after a long wait, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I have bought it on DVD and have watched it a couple of times since. I thought that it was a very good film.Until I actually read the book.I could spend a lot of time explaining the differences between the book and the film. But you are here to see it brief:1. Book: Lucy sees Aslan and the crew votes to see if she is right. Later she sees him again at night and convinces her companions to follow him.Movie: Lucy sees Aslan and her companions dismiss it entirely. Later she sees him in the morning and it ends up being a dream.2. Book: Caspian and Peter get along fine.Movie: Caspian and Peter argue a lot.3. Book: No hint anywhere of a castle raid.Movie: Big castle raid and lots of Narnians are killed.4. Book: Caspian and Susan never have a hint of romance.Movie: Susan gets all googly-eyed over Caspian.5. Book: Peter is the high king and acts like it. He is not proud and does not make decisions rashly.Movie: Peter is the high king and acts clueless, including getting in a fight at the railway station. He is proud, and makes decisions rashly.Those are only five of the betrayals. There are a lot more that I could mention. I honestly don't know how they made this twisted story line come out right. The special effects are wonderful, though. Lots of good special effects and lots of money poured into it, when all that you get is a movie with the same character names and no following of the book.To future Narnia film makers: Keep the cast and special effects, but make it as true to the book as the first Narnia film was. Oh, and think about remaking Prince Caspian.To those considering buying this movie: Don't waste your hard-earned money on this betrayal; read the book instead.
