Movies

I am a Narnia obsessed nerd, so of course I went to see it the night it was released. I had very high expectations because the first movie was so true to the book. However, with this film that wasn't the case. The screen play was pretty much completely rewritten and included only hints of the original story. I suppose Disney felt it necessary to add in lame typical movie elements that attract mainstream moviegoers. For example a sub-plot romance between Caspian and Susan and battles that never existed. This movie not only failed to develop the characters and events as well as the book, it changed the characters and situations that it did develop.

Wow, Prince Caspian, the long awaited sequel to the box office smash, The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe finally hits theaters in North America on Friday May 16th.Without spoiling the film, this is a much darker, at times funnier, and a much more adult Narnia sequel than the first film.The Pevensies have grown up, show more angst and are experiencing emotions that weren't in the first film.A lot more action, and a lot darker storyline could frighten small children.I would not recommend this film to any children under the age of 7 as some of the more violent acts could frighten them.However, this is a terrific fantasy film, with some of the best action, I have seen in years. I can't wait for the third Narnia film, bring it on Disney!
