I was just having a conversation about this on Tuesday and I'm wondering if anyone else was as disappointed by "Prince Caspian" as I was. I saw "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" in the theater and thought it was done spectacularly. My complaints were all minor, and had more to do with me imagining things differently than the film makers.
However, I was so glad that I did not waste my money to see "Prince Caspian" in the theater. They changed so much, particularly when the trees started moving. In Narnia, the trees send out their spirits. In Middle Earth, they move. These type of differences, the ones that seem to be a blatant disregard of the original text, are the ones that often destroy a movie for me.
