==''#6<span>:ย </span>[[The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (Disneycember)|The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian]]''== Doug (vo): Number 6: [[The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (Disneycember)|The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian]]. Doug (vo): Now I'm just gonna say straight-up right now. I only read one Narnia book, and that was the first one. Actually, I didn't even know there were more Narnia books after the first one. Doug: When the movie came out, that's when I found out there was more. I'm like, "There was more?" I only thought it was just one! It seemed so self-contained. So, I didn't know there was more. So, going into this movie, I didn't read the book. And I'm finding out more and more, people who didn't read the book usually like the movie. People who have read the book hate the movie. And, that's really fascinating, because I did talk to people about what was left out and what they added. To me, it seems like the stuff they added was pretty interesting. I liked that the, um, the oldest boy suddenly, you know, he starts to get a little cocky, um, I like that he becomes too overconfident, I really like the temptation of the White Witch. Doug (vo): I thought that was very clever and very well-handled. And I thought it got, it did get darker, it did get more menacing. Doug: And it got a little bit more political, and I like that...I like anything that sort of takes that fairy tale aspect and sort of, it grows it up a little bit, it sort of makes it a little bit more tougher and more grown-up. But not too extreme, like the Harry Potter movies, where, you know, if you're a kid reading Harry Potter, "Oh, yay! Wizards! Yay!" And then, if you're reading them all in a row and you get to the last one, "Jesus!" (Chuckles) It's not like that. It's intense, but it's not, you know, too graphic. It's not too much, it's about the right amount. Um, I don't know where the other books go, but I sort of do. People have been sort of spoiling the books for me, but I don't care. I know they do get a little bit more, you know, whatever, more adult and more, it certainly takes more risks. But for the film itself, imagine you never read the book and you saw that movie. I...it's a decent movie. Doug (vo): I was really getting into it. I got into the characters a lot more, I like that the youngest girl could see Aslan but nobody else could. Doug: I think there's a lot of challenges of faith in there, and I like it when, whatever, the real world sort of sets in a little bit more. Well, real Narnia world, whatever, I know it's fictional, but I like that it sort of sets in a little more, and everything's not as easy as it used to be. Uh, the fight scenes are great, I love the villain, the Caspian kid, you know, was fine, although I heard he's, like, a lot younger in the book. That was one of the big complaints. Um, I think the only other thing that may have disturbed me, I don't know if it was in the books, is when the trees are attacking. Yeah...we've all seen this happen, you know. This is from Lord of the Rings. But again, yeah, what I liked about that, even though it was from Lord of the Rings, uh, when I read The Two Towers...was it Two Towers? Yeah, Two Towers had the big attack. And the trees are attacking, I imagined them moving more like they did in Narnia, I didn't imagine that they had legs and arms. I imagined that it was sort of more, uh, you know, octopus-y, you know, the roots going and grab people. So, I liked seeing that. I thought that was pretty cool. Um, but, yeah, it's from Lord of the Rings. Even if it is in the book, I know C.S. Lewis and Tolkien were friends, so, whatever, I guess it's cool. Uh, I really enjoyed that movie. I thought it got more suspenseful, it got darker, it got tougher, but still had that sense of magic, it had new things in it. I love whatever the hell that giant water thing... Doug (vo): ...came out and just headbutted that guy. That was awesome! Doug: So, I don't know. I really liked it, maybe even more than the [[The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (Disneycember)|first one]]. But again, I'm a minority on this. Maybe because I didn't read the book, I was actually watching it with someone else who didn't like the first movie, and he was watching the second one, like, really getting into it. I said, "Did you read the books?" "No." So, maybe people who haven't read the books would like it more. I don't know, I thought it was a lot of fun. I thought it was a really cool movie, but what do I know?
