i personally don't quite like this movie. cuz first of all, i'm not so into fantasy line, which doesnt really make any sense -.-''
i prefer love fantasy stories, but not all these. maybe its bcuz i din watch the first narnia? i don't know..i don't like those actors/actress.. and don't like that lion either.. so its all about self preference |

QUOTE(bomberkenny @ May 20 2008, 12:43 AM) frankly I don't like this movie. hmp hello ? the 4 siblings had been living for 1300 years in narnia as kings and queens .. of course they had masterry in combats...the title of the movie is Prince Caspian, the posters displayed the prince and Aslan, but these 2 characters are the least important compared to the 4 siblings in the movie. They can fight yeah... but is it logic that these school kids can battle against well trained soldiers? Again, like most American movies, they love to bring out "miracles" when they are about to lose.... it's quite expected, almost like nuclear bombs in all zombie movies.... not even mention, this time Aslan only shows up in the end. And even when he appears, he had the super powers that he didn't have in the first episode. It's cool to awaken the sleeping trees, but it's not cool to summon water God (and this water God doesn't resembles anyone in the movie, i tot it was resembling Caspian's father but it wasn't). seriously i was disappointed with their storylines |

they arent 1300 years old... its just a metaphor that Susan used to make out like you've fallen for a great-grandmother. And its just an additional scene.
Anyway, The movie didn't satisfies me with the question on how could an adult (they reign in Narnia for years right?) and become a kid again and not been affected by it. (Well.. the early scenes are the director's impressions on differentiating Peter's level of maturity compared to Edmund's. And they do it splendidly anyway.. but not that subtle) However, I like the story more if Lewis question the inner battle of a woman trapped in a little girl's body... like Anne Rice did haha... I guess, it might not sound like a children's story anymore... This post has been edited by aoibhealFae: May 20 2008, 02:01 PM |

This movie's quite okay, maybe because I have a thing for the fantasy genre.
I feel the first movie was more kiddy, but the mood in the second movie was darker and grittier, which is better! I believe a couple of years in the real world = 1000+ years in Narnia? So, Susan's right in saying she's 1300 years older than Caspian. The water god is one of the highlights in the movie and I loved it. Aslan is the "king" of the magical creatures, so nothing wrong if he can summon them to do his bidding. The part I cant understand is why Aslan only choose to appear in the last possible moment (after so much people died). I guess he just want to feel important and wanted. |

QUOTE(seydee @ May 5 2008, 11:10 AM) If you want to enjoy the show, leave the LOTR expectation behind. Narnia is never meant to compare with LOTR. I did the mistake in the first Narnia, dropp off the LOTR when watching Golden compass and it works.....at least I enjoy the movie. You can watch Narnia online at 101vdo.comThis post has been edited by soccervideo2u: May 22 2008, 07:16 PM |

People do not believe in him anymore but with the return of the 4 kids brought back the Narnians faith in Aslan. Remember what Lucy said everyone couldn't see Aslan because they do not believe in him anymore. Its a question of faith. Thats why the Narnians books are based on Christian ideology. And the reason why Aslan can summon all the magical creatures is because he created Narnia its in the first book. Aslan is supposed to be like Jesus/God.I feel the first movie was more kiddy, but the mood in the second movie was darker and grittier, which is better!

As for why the 4 kids know how to fight. They were actually adults when they left Narnia in the last movie. They ruled Narnia for sometime and the time of their ruling is the Golden Age of Narnia and they were involved in wars during their rule even though its only briefly mentioned in the book. Thats why you see the frustration in Peter when fought Caspian and found out that he is younger and weaker than Caspian. Thats why he wanted to prove himself with the night raid. Also, thats why he got into a fight at the beginning of the movie at the subway station because he's frustrated for being trapped in a teenager's body. The only thing that can be considered ad error is at the end where Lucy said she will never understand the "thing" between Caspian and Susan but this can be explained as she did not fell in love before even when she's an adult. After all, in the books, none of the 4 kids got married. |

Caspian and Reepicheep (the rat) will be joining them as well. I wonder what the movie director is going to do with the other 2 siblings? I guess no gaji for these 2 actor/actress... |

Peter only appears at the end on the last book which I doubt will be made into the movie. As for, Susan she moved to America and will never go back to Narnia. The next story will have Caspian, Edward, Lucy and Reepicheep on a sea vovage together with a new kid. No more huge battles or war scenes and more of an adventure story.Read somewhere that the third part will only feature 2 of the siblings.

I've never read the books and didn't watch the first movie.
Thought this particular one was pretty cool. Wasn't expecting much,so just went in,sat back and enjoyed the adventure. Come on,it's a fantasy movie. Lighten up a lil and don't take it too seriously and u'll enjoy it Added on May 23, 2008, 3:19 pm QUOTE(bomberkenny @ May 20 2008, 12:43 AM) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This post has been edited by ellimist: May 23 2008, 03:21 PM |
