Prince Caspian (2008) Part 9: This Isn’t What I Wanted

Prince Caspian (2008) Part 8: You’re Supposed to Be at the Gatehouse!
We get a nice aerial view of the Telmarine castle at night. The music in this bit is subtle but very effective. A gryphon swoops down carrying Edmund and hides on the roof of a tower. The sentry there hears … Continue reading

Prince Caspian (2008) Part 4: A More Savage Place Than You Remember
Finally, we cut to our title character who was introduced in the opening. (That’s not a necessarily a complaint by the way. It’s not like I was desperately wondering about him or anything. Then again, that might have just been … Continue reading

Prince Caspian (2008) Part 3: I Think It’s Time We Found Out What’s Going On
In a great transition, we cut from the bright and colorful ruins of Cair Paravel to the grim looking Telmarine castle. OK, I admit it’s not very original to give the good guys bright colors and the bad guy’s darker … Continue reading

Prince Caspian (2008) Part 2: I Don’t Remember Any Ruins in Narnia
