So I just wanted to talk about the things I like about Prince Caspian, the movie, that is, the movie. The thing that I like the most in the movie is all the action. There is actually proper action for everyone, except Lucy XD but she does get more in the next one when she's older, and its pretty good. Its not amazing, but its pretty decent for actors that are young and have never done that kind of stuff before. I like all the action, too, because the Pevensies are supposed to have been war kings and queens and stuff when the ruled Narnia and they actually seem like it when they return too. So I liked all the action, and that Susan got to actually DO STUFF! Although Caspian still had to save her at the one point -_- That was annoying. I think they just did that because they wanted them to have "a moment". Like Ugh, I could have done without the Susan-Caspian stuff. Or at least, the way they did it. It was just... too obvious. But I'm glad it didn't like, last. Or maybe the fact that it didn't last is what's more annoying. I can't decide. But, overall, the action was good. Oh! I really liked the part where they took out the pillars for the ground and made it all come crashing and stuff, that was really cool :)
Another great part of the movie was Peter Dinklage! I really liked him, and just the overall extended cast. There were a lot of really good actors in this movie.
On a side note for the 3rd movie, and this one too, actually, but the CG that is really good is the water! They spent a lot of time and money on the water XD
They also do really well on Reep and Aslan, probably because they are main characters, but still. At least a few things are done really quite well. Oh! The dragon, when Eustace becomes a dragon in the 3rd one, that's pretty good too. So I guess, in the grand scheme of things, they did spend their CG money wisely, on the things that are most pivotal to the story.
The thing that I like the most about the movie, and all the Chronicles of Narnia movies (and the books, too, duh XD) is all the Christian-ness XD There are just so many parallels between the movies and Faith and stuff. Like, I noticed that there's a part where Peter wants to do thing his own way and attack the Telmarine Castle first and Lucy is all "You make it seem like there are only two ways to go about this, die here or die there. Did you forgot who really defeated the White Witch?" And that just reminds me of how when we get impatient for God's plan, and do out own thing, it doesn't end up working out the way we thought. We certainly learn from the experience, but it might be a lot painful that we first would have thought.
And skipping to the 3rd movie, again, I like how Aslan was all "I'm known by a different name in your world. You came here to know me better, now you must find me in yours", and its all "hello!!!! JESUS! XD" (I feel like this post is all over the place, and jumping back and forth, but that ok, XD Thats me.)
Back to the 2nd, I thought that the acting, overall, especially with the 4 kids, was really good. I like all the kids together, I think they all feed off each other and that sort of sibling-ness and it just really works. I think that's one of the parts I miss I miss in the 3rd movie, is the interaction of all the Pevensies. Its just not quite the same when it's only two of them, with the addition of their cousin. But , alas, not quite the same.
Oh! I actually really liked the Telmarines being Spanish and stuff. I think Ben Barnes' Spanish accent was fine and it made him different from the others. But, in the 3rd movie they let him use his normal British accent. So, I think that took away some of the pizzaz too.
Is that it...? It's probably not, but that's all I can remember at the moment. So... for now, just know that I really do like the Chronicles of Narnia, and I feel kinda of bad that I haven't read the books XD This is a common theme, though. For a lot of movies that were first books, I haven't read a lot of the books. I have read Harry Potter though! And... honestly, thats about it. For some things, I've read the books, but not seen the movies, but most, I've seen the movies and not read the books XD
Ok, that's all for now!!! Toodles! God Bless! ^_^
