Prince Caspian vs. The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe

[Copperfox]

Walden Media's Non-Caspian movie should have been titled "Prince Harvey," with all other character and place names also changed. Then, taking it in isolation, it would have been a good movie. But since almost every character in it was seriously changed from what they were in the book, and almost every theme from the book discarded (the intentional degrading and ruining of Peter as a character fitting both of these), it was blatant false advertising for them to pretend that they were making a Narnian film. It was no more a Narnian film than "Shrek" was a Robin Hood film.

I like LWW better...they completely ruined Peter in PC and they kicked out and added so much stuff it wasn't REALLY Prince Caspian.

Exactly.
The first movie was better in my opinion. Even though Edmund was a lot better in PC.
This should have a poll.

I always call it "King Brat" after Peter. The second movie was less true to the book, yes, but it was more well done as in the overall quality of the screenplay, etc.
