I don't like Caspian's accent. Distracting and unbelievable. At least for me. Hopefully his dialogue is kept to a minimum.
good movie. a few parts went away from the book, but solid nonetheless.

He talks less once the kids come. I never noticed the accent, good observation.

It's just unnecessary. Why? I don't remember a single creature in the first having a foreign accent other the the understandable British accent of the four kids. Why does Caspian even have an accent? It just seemed stupid to me and unnecessary stupid has always annoyed me.
Liam Nieson has an accent
Fine... there were no accents beyond the understandable British accents. Why this completely foreign accent? it sounds fake, anyways...
Liam is Irish.
I'm going to effin' short circuit...
God help me, you know what I mean. Nieson is far more polished in his delivery that the typical Irish accent (Colin Farrell). When I hear Caspian speak, I can't place the accent, but it's annoying enough that it's unnecessary, but far more annoying since it soounds fake or put on.
I'm just curious as to why they made Caspian so much older. That is no 10 year old child. Sex appeal for the moms taking their kids?
We're going to see it tomorrow.
I felt very mixed about LW&W - I thought they added a lot of unnecessary drama, and it annoyed me. The story didn't need more drama or special effects - the original is pretty awesome on it's own. Beyond that, I like Tilda Swinton tremendously, but was somewhat bothered by Liam Nieson as Aslan. I know that a large part of that was the fact that I'd just seen him in the Kinsey Report earlier that week and it made it difficult for me to separate them since you don't see Liam Nieson.
I'm still looking forward to this, I think.
i thought liam nieson was a perfect choice for Aslan. but that's just me.

I loved some parts of the movie but did not like this one nearly as much as I did the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
C.S. Lewis' original books for all these stories were fantastic so I am rather displeased that they took liberties with the story line.
Even so, the movie was well made, and I like enough of it that I will go see the third movie, whenever it comes out.
Movie producers MUST adapt the books to fit within the medium of a film. This is because books are either too complex (e.g., Tolkien) or long (e.g., The Wizard of Oz) to fit in a 2-2½ hr movie. It's not even that they want to -- they must.
Also, the siblings are now older than they were in the book, so maybe to keep the ages of the characters the same, they just adapted Caspian's age?
Saw it. It was fine. A decent couple of hours. There were things I liked a lot (the kids playing Lucy and Edmund are are decent little actors), and things I didn't like so well.
I understand that books must be adapted. I have no issue with that. It's the unnecessary adaptations that annoy me - there were additional scenes that didn't add to the story. I disliked the whole Peter storyline. It was lame.
Enjoyable, but not one I plan on adding to my collection or seeing again.
