Thanks so much for the review Cavey! I was really bummed when I read about the Susan-Caspian romance in a magazine...that seems like an utterly unnecessary and silly addition. But...whatever.

I am anxious to see this movie and glad to hear that, even from the POV of someone who's read the book many times, it still got a solid B.

Good Lord, what's the point then? (What do they teach them in these schools these days?) That's, like, my very favorite part of the whole book and arguably the ultimate point on a metaphysical level...

I agree, I'm very upset that this is taken out. It is so imperative to the theme of the book, that I was really hoping it was going to play a major role in the movie.

<sigh>Ok, DW & I went to see it after work yesterday....she loved it and I thought it was good but not as good as the first. The SE were cool but it seemed to be lacking a certain oomph that the first film had. Maybe it was the parts that were cut out that Cavey mentioned, I don't know.

Mind you, it is not a horrible film, it is a very good film. I just think the hype is bigger than what it is. GO in not expecting anything and you may enjoy it more than I did.

I give it 8.5 out of 10. Iron Man is still the film to beat this summer. I hope Indy is better. Looks like we will be seeing it Saturday at DTD after we get checked into AKV.

The book is not the best of the series, but it is central to the next two books--which take place in Prince Caspian's lifetime. Then we jump back in history to the creation of Narnia and story from the time of Peter, Susan, Edmund, & Lucy's reign. Finally the books jump forward several hundred years to the end of Narnia--which, as CS Lewis says, is really the beginning of the REAL story of Narnia.
