Prince Caspian

We just saw the movie Prince Caspian. I had recently reread the C. S. Lewis book, so I remembered the original plot pretty well. Other than an extra needless battle and a mistimed horn blowing, the movie followed the book fairly well -- a lot better than some movies do. The movie even managed to fit in a few of the main messages that Lewis put into his book.

The book itself doesn't have much action and would have been a fairly boring movie, so I don't really fault the producers, etc. for spicing it up a bit.

After hearing the accent given the Telmarines, I kept waiting for Caspian to say, "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
