Worth Seeing

Prince Caspian is not my favorite of the Narnia Chronicles, although the most amazing part of it is one that the filmmakers spent not enough time on. When the four children arrive at the ruins of Cair Paravel, it takes much more time in the book as they gradually come to realize that this potential archeological dig belonged to THEM; a place where they lived and played for many years in a previously luxurious palace. They reach the conclusion far too quickly and then the director spends far too much time later in more meaningless battle scenes. I really don't need to see the marching Telemarines more than three times to get the idea. And I agree with other reviewers; why the fictional romance between Susan and Caspian? She doesn't need to kiss him before she leaves! Totally unnecessary plot stupidity. It was far more interesting to watch the hints - and far more in keeping with Lewis's lack of details in any of his books -rather than have them "go for it." Oh well....
Still, the special effects were amazing and I would rather see them on a large screen than on DVD.
Go see it; it's worth it.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
