Before this film came out, I saw the BBC version as a kid, as well as a stage production. I also attempted to read the book, but I don’t think I got that far.
That said, I was probably prepared enough to see this film when it came out in 2005.
I would say that it was probably a good enough adaptation for the story and it’s 2 1/2 running time went by pretty quickly.
That said, even though I liked the film, I never felt the need to rewatch it.
So, you could probably understand my hesitation about Prince Caspian. At least this film has a veil of familiarity when I saw it (which probably helped in my enjoyment). Now, a film is coming out that I’m not too familiar with and I’m not sure how much I’ll enjoy it.
We’ll guess we’ll have to wait for the weekend for that.
