Prince Caspian Review

+about. The Pevensie siblings return to Narnia, where they are enlisted to once again help ward off an evil king and restore the rightful heir to the land's throne, Prince Caspian. official//trailer

+my opinion. I LOVED this film! They took some pretty big risks (for example the Caspian/Susan romance and adding in more humour), but it really paid off. It's a long movie but they keep it interesting by throwing in the odd joke or extra plot twist here and there. I also loved the character development in this film, from memory I think they took it a little bit further than in the books, but it really gave each of the stars a chance to shine. And I didn't think I'd like Prince Caspian much (from what was in the trailers) but he was awesome!. The final battle scene between Miraz and Peter was amazingly intense, I haven't seen a battle scene in a kids film that good in awhile. Oh, and I really loved Edmund in this film - he matured so much from being the rebel in the first film.

+qotf. Miraz: Tell me, Prince Edmund...
Edmund: King.
Miraz: I beg your Pardon.
Edmund: It's King Edmund, actually. Just King though. Peter's the High King.
[awkward pause]
Edmund: I know, it's confusing.
