Prince Caspian was one of the worst book-to-movie adaptations eve to be done. I would say the only worse one was Princess Diaries. I don't understand what happened. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe was so good!

You have to understand, I'm a HUGE C.S. Lewis fan, and I'm also a purist. So when they destroyed the plot and characters of one of my favorite series, you see how I might be upset. So many things were wrong with this movie that I don't even know where to begin...I suppose I should start with Susan. Let's get something straight: SUSAN DOES NOT LOVE CASPIN. SHE DOES NOT KISS HIM. SHE IS NOT EVEN REMOTELY ROMANTICALLY ATTRACTED TO HIM. According to the books, Susan ends up growing up and forgetting about Narnia altogether. Caspian goes on to marry the daughter of a fallen star in Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Nothing ever happens between Susan and Caspian.

Other things: Peter looks like a total idiot, and extremely selfish and arrogant. It should not be so!! Also, they added a random battle for no reason. Plus, the White Witch was not supposed to be called up; they only talked about it in the book.

There WAS amazing scenery, though. And Edmund, Lucy, and Reepicheep were AWESOME.
