Review by Princess Caspian

4.7 / 5

I thought that the movie was very well done. I think that C.S. Lewis would be very happy with it. It was beyond my expectations. Although I had high hopes that it wouldn't be "hollywoodized" I wasn't sure how Disney would do it. To my delight, I found that it was EXTREMELY well done.
I though ALL the acting was well done and the costumes were beautiful. The only area I found fault in was during the wide shot of the battle, things looked a bit to "computerish." All in all though, I thought it was a great movie!
