Prince Caspian

[lookout123]

I have always been a fan of The Chronicles of Narnia and have passed that onto Lil Lookout. Yes, I'm aware that the plot is simple. Yes, I'm aware that it is blatant Christian storytelling. Yes, I'm aware Lewis took much of his imagery from Tolkien who is was in a writing club with at the time. I don't care - I enjoy the stories.

Anyway, I went to preview Prince Caspian on Friday without Lil Lookout to make sure there was nothing that would freak him out. (he opened up and watched The Temple of Doom while I was at work a couple weeks ago and the still beating heart freaked him out)

Walking out of the theater I was impressed at what an enjoyable movie it was as a whole. About half way through I had been irritated at how much the story had been changed from the books, considering that the first movie had stayed very close to the original tale. The very end could have been better as they used a song that was completely out of place with the rest of the two movies, but oh well. Visually the movie was awesome, just a real joy to watch. The soundtrack was great right up until the very end.

All in all, I enjoyed it and would recommend the movie for children of all ages. I'm now looking forward to the third movie Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
