Prince Caspian: Two Thumbs, Way Up
I saw the latest Narnia offering tonight, and have to say that it’s the best action/ adventure/ fantasy flick I’ve seen in quite a long time. I would rank Prince Caspian at least on par with the Lord of the Rings films, and probably better, in many respects. It was also a much better film than The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, and it’s even reasonably close to the original story, though the producers took a few artistic liberties. The faith message was pretty clear - there is a time for less ‘doing’ and more faith.
Even Joe Carter at Evangelistic Outpost seemed to appreciate it, and he doesn’t like anything.

You gave it a thumbs up and PalmBoy gave it a thumbs down. Who to believe? We’ll just have to see it for ourselves and decide. I don’t know that I can remember many details from the book, so I’ll probably just enjoy it for the movie that it is; quite unlike LOTR, which I’ve read about 30 times in my life, and was quite disappointed with the movies.

OK - now since you’ve endorsed it so highly I will go see it. I wasn’t crazy about the first one - found it a bit slow. But as good as the Rings? Hmmm.
BTW - Iron Man…it rocks!
