narnia: prince caspian

weelll...everyone else seems to be posting their reviews for caspian, so i might as well say what i think, too (lol!) [i was planning on doing this earlier, but school is insane!]...i don't think i can give a really good, complete review at the moment, i think i have to see it again to and really think about it [the first time watching it, i was in this blissful haze...thinking "i can't believe i'm finally watching this!! it's been what, 3 years?!" yea, we've been waiting for a while!]. throughout the movie, ashlee, naomi and i randomly whispered to each other about random details, which i'm sure the people behind us deeply appreciated [yea right. *rolls eyes*], but that made the movie more enjoyable for me! lol! like i said before, it's gonna be hard for me to really write a review, so i'll just mention a couple things i remember [warning::spoilers!!]...
first of all, the actors/actresses did amazing jobs!! i was a bit skeptical about ben barnes, but he was just awesome (although i don't quite get how spanish accent=telmarine...yea...). my personal favorite character in this movie was edmund. he was just stinkin' awesome (go skandar!!)!! he matured so much since lww, and he was great in this movie! lucy (yeay georgie!) was great, too! i loved her faith in aslan, and how she grew up in this movie (i also liked how they made her a lot like the book.)
o.k., some of you might not like this, but to tell you the truth, i thought peter and susan were somewhat of a let-down. they did have some great scenes, and anna and william are great actress/actor, but they weren't my fav. i didn't really like how they weren't really like the book. for example, i didn't like how peter's faith in aslan was really shaky during almost the whole movie. and i didn't like how susan acted rather snobbish at times. (i think this is what i remember, but i still want to see it again...) don't get me wrong, i loved the movie! there were just a couple things i didn't like. for peter, he was great during the fight scenes (especially his duel with miraz!), and did anyone see the hair flips?? those were soo funny!! one i found especially amusing was during the duel with miraz when i think peter's been knocked down, he gets up, does a hair flip and has this really determined look on his face that's like "you think it's gonna be that easy? think again." :)
i liked the scene with the white witch (even though it wasn't in the book...). i thought it was really interesting...one of the things that disappointed me was how after peter pushed caspian out of the way, and then he basically took his place (he seemed really easily swayed in this movie). i loved how ed saved the day, though! that was awesome! :)
o.k., i'm almost done, but there's one more thing i have to talk about--susan and caspian (you knew that was coming, didn't you?). i think it was totally unnecessary. i think the director said something like how you see susan and caspian and you think they go together, or something like that. what i heard that, i was just like, "ummm, NO! no no no no no!!" idk, obviously they aren't ever going to see each other again, but they didn't have to do that (even though susan's lines after that were pretty funny!). anyways, yea, i didn't really like that part...
sooo...hopefully that somewhat made sense, i loved the movie [even though it seems like i just focused on the negative, hopefully i'll be able to write a more complete review later...], and can't wait to see it again! :)
oh, and one more thing, reepicheep totally rocked!
the end.

by the way, the reason the telmarines have Mediterranean accents is because they came from our world, and they were pirates and stuff

It was a amzing movie! They followed the book pretty well (their was no castle night attack bu oh well.) The Susan/Caspian thing is really that bad. Totally can't wait for Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

i luved that movie!! it was a lot better than the 1st one they did. i just didn't like how the white witch part came up. sort of reminded me of the Harry Potter movie "The Goblet of Fire" when they're in the graveyard and Voldemort "comes back". btw, i'm going to be an aunt in August! i'm only 12 which is really weird....
