Review by MarshallWahlstromHelgren
I didn't get to see this until last year in 2010. When I saw the opening scene I felt very confused, I mean it should have opened with the four Pensive children at the Train station and then moved into the scenes of Caspian escaping from his evil uncle Miraz's castle. Plus why isn't Trumpkin telling the story when he meets them? Why is he not in the scene of Caspian in the Badgers house? I don't know but I wish there was a better explanation why Andrew Adamson and his team cut so many scenes from the movie.
Well I have to admit that some lines in the movie were true to the spirit of the book to a degree. My favorite part of the movie is when Reepicheep the Mouse comes back from battle and had his tail is cut off. Then Lucy goes up and uses her cordial and submits a drop and the mouse awakens. Then I love the part after hailing Aslan that the mouse realizes he has lost his tail and the mouse explains what the tail is useful for. Then the other mice insist that if there leader is not going to have his tail then they will cut theres.
Then my favorite quote from Aslan which is when he says (Warning! Minor Spoiler!)"Not for the sake of your dignity but for the love of your people."- Aslan. That line is also in the book but in the book there was more and I was surprised they cut the other line from the book out because in the movie they leave out the other reason why Aslan gave Reepicheep his tail back, (Warning Major Spoiler) also because after Aslan died and was still bound to the Stone Table, Reepicheep's people went to the Stone Table and started biting at the bonds of rope that had bound the Great Lion so he gave them voices to talk as a reward for biting his bonds. Otherwise I mean there was some small errors from The book to the Movie, But I give it 4 stars and Disney/Walden Media congrats on making a great movie.
I loved it despite the seriousness and the forced humor it still a pretty good Movie. Oh well you can't have everything you want some time in a movie. Once I look past the errors that the Director and his team made its a movie worth watching again and again.
