You know, it's nearly impossible for a movie to completely follow the book it was written from. On top of that, you have writers and producers who think they know what will make a better movie than the book. Shame on them.
At any rate, there were quite a few things missing from the LOTR movies, and some things not quite right in the LWW movie. But I still liked it. I just keep in mind it's not identical. It can't be. What I was most pleased with is that, in my opinion, they didn't stray from the real theme of the book... redemption - of Edmund, of Narnia, of the Kingship.
The other thing i'm pleased about is that FINALLY, I could see with my own eyes what, until then, my mind could only conjure. I Loved LWW and I look forward to PC. Yeah, so the guy they got for Caspian isn't what I'd exactly envision, but they didn't ask me. Oh well... I'll probably still enjoy it. Thanks!
"And this is the marvel of marvels, that he called me, Beloved, me who am but as a dog---" Emeth.
And as He spoke He no longer looked to them like a lion; But the things that began to happen after that were so great and beautiful that I cannot write them.
