I’m not buying this movie if its simply a horrid Narnian heresy or any of the merchandise! I will not support it. And I love the books. Yes- PC was that bad in my book. They defamed Peter’s character and made Caspian a push over and they forgot the whole point of the book: To awaken all Narnia. They left out the best part of the book. Everyone who has anything to do with writing the Script or acting it should be required to read the book first.

Why does Hollywood feel the need to remake a classic like VODT? I liked the book and if they have changed it too much- I am not going to like the movie. What audience do they think they are playing to? They have a built in fan base that they seem to like offending. I had my suspicions about PC and they were confirmed.And PC did poorly. LWW was a much better film. Why should we think VODT s going to be better than PC? So what- they built a pretty ship. PLOT is more important than fancy setting. They had better not forget that point of the Voyage was to seek adventure and Aslan. If they do- all is lost. If the scenes with Aslan go awry… it won’t even be the Chronicles.

I agree wholeheartedly about Peter, but I also think that Aragorn was still amazing in the movie; Peter was, to put it delicately, a very troubled young man in th PC movie. I don’t see why they needed to change Aragorn (I imagine it was to create suspense etc.) but he was still the gentleman, the strong presence, the leader, and everything that he needed to be. The only difference was the non-acceptance of his fate, rather than the eager anticipation for it. I LOVE watching Aragorn throughout the entire LOTR trilogy movies, I do not enjoy Peter’s attitude and sarcasm in PC. He went, in my opinion, from Hero (in LWW) to Zero (in PC).

yeah!
I just watched the movie last night(though I missed MOST parts of the film…)and I was thinkin’ "Hey! It’s not THAT bad…"
if I could put it in other words…"The change was for the better", ‘coz it turned out to be one great movie!
I’m comfortable with the changes…it’s the date they showed it that worried me…being May the blockbuster month…so it showed "unsuccessful"
people,don’t blame the script; blame the DATE that PC was shown…

if they’re gonna make the movie EXACTLY the same as the book, then it’d be a wee bit boring to watch, don’t you think?
I think it’s good that they’re adding something different to the movie…but I hope it’s only JUST A BIT of a change from the book…I hope I’m not gonna sound like I’m pro-changes, but I think I’d be bored to death if they made it EXACTLY as the book…

"Prince Caspian we had to make some fairly major changes because the book isn’t written that way. In this movie there are a lot of differences in it also to, as Hollywood says, “derive the plot”." NO U DON’T NEED 2 DO THAT DOUGLAS. honestly LWW was the better one from LWW and PC… doesn’t that kinda make u think that you’ll make more money and please the fans if you stay close to the book! There is no reason for this. Ridiculous. No offence or anything to douglas but it shouldn’t be that way… they should stay really close to the book especially after what happened to Prince Caspian

Mirima,

I can see where you are coming from, but I do feel quite strongly that if a director wants to make a film of a book then it is beholden on that director to be as true as physically possible to the original. He/she is relying on the fan-base of that book to go and watch the film, so…

If they can’t commit to that honesty, then they should go off and write their own story, and make a film of that instead of cribbing from someone else’s idea. I do think that there is a real question of honesty and integrity here, and mucking about with something that many millions of people have got a lot of emotional capital invested in is not a good way to do business

Rant over !
