This is an ugly review and you are an ugly person! I'm sure Prince Caspian didn't even want you to watch the movie! Hahah! People don't listen to her! She's a frekin pansy!

I am ok with some creative licence, but they destoyed all the major plot lines, changed the charaters personaltys, and over all trashed the whole movie, with the exception of Reepacheep. I almost walked out on a movie I have been waiting 2 1/2 years for with very much excitment. I could not follow the storyline as it was so mangled it was incomprehensable. so I do not blame Cam he called it correctely, a sad sad blunder and a sad day for Narnia and us Fans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35283519.post-39213405743373038502008-05-17T20:32:00.000-07:002008-05-17T20:32:00.000-07:00I had a problem with the entire movie looking like...I had a problem with the entire movie looking like lord of the rings.

And generic notes like "woefully inept" are too ambiguous, hardly a valid critique. Since your entire movie review just sounds so childish, Im going to watch the movie based on the trailer I saw and the reviews Variety and the Hollywood Reporter gave. Even if I'm not a fan of the source material.<BR/><BR/>Also, when people clap during or at the end of the movie it usually means the audience are uncouthed and/or lower class citizens. I saw, and enjoyed, Iron Man and the rednecks couldn't stop clapping and cheering. If they were children or at a Film Festival, maybe. But not mainstream adults.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35283519.post-42046745690603421992008-05-13T11:14:00.000-07:002008-05-13T11:14:00.000-07:00^^^^^^^^Very true.

Very, very unusual for an advance/opening screening. I'm predicting a huge opening and massive drop in its second week.

Not even the kids seemed amused. i liked the first movie, and lets be honest, that damn mouse won me over, but the acting. Ugh. This movie could only be loved by those nutso religious freaks who only give a damn that the fact its the story of Jesus. anyone who likes that bullshit could enjoy watching a mold grow. And as for filming that film, yeah, like I'd waste my time using my digital camera which can only record 20minutes.... way to confiscate that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35283519.post-79307988521359783852008-05-13T08:02:00.000-07:002008-05-13T08:02:00.000-07:00I think it's about time you gave up writing movie ...I think it's about time you gave up writing movie reviews...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35283519.post-65172906005181080152008-05-13T08:01:00.000-07:002008-05-13T08:01:00.000-07:00Wow. . . what a blitzkrieg.It's OK that you didn't...Wow. . . what a blitzkrieg.<BR/><BR/>It's OK that you didn't like it, that's your prerogative. But you made Prince Caspian out to be absolutely horrendous. I find that very hard to believe considering the other reviews and interviews I've read and all the movie clips I've seen (also, as a huge fan of C.S. Lewis, I found the LWW to be satisfactory - the sequel can't be too bad).<BR/><BR/>I think Prince Caspian will be great.<BR/><BR/>Maybe you could do a better job?<BR/>Get a production team around you and make a movie.<BR/><BR/>I'd go see it. . .<BR/><BR/>- RetrofitAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35283519.post-51912704568336069852008-05-13T07:45:00.000-07:002008-05-13T07:45:00.000-07:00The fact that you didn't like, makes me think I wi...The fact that you didn't like, makes me think I will like it all the more! The reasons (or lack thereof) you gave for hating this film were silly and (I agree with Fauvism) not flattering to your ego. How can you complain about them checking your bags or telling you not to video it?! I'm sure that EVERY pre-screening does the same thing, so to include that in your review seems pointless. It looks like you were just trying to find reasons to hate this movie. Sad. <BR/><BR/>Despite your silly review, I am still looking forward to this movie very much!!!<BR/><BR/>~DeLanceyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35283519.post-15385711301865696672008-05-13T07:30:00.000-07:002008-05-13T07:30:00.000-07:00I find it rather odd that you call the experience ...I find it rather odd that you call the experience demeaning and yet you don't seem to be thankful enough that you actually got to see an advanced screening of the film.
