"Why does everyone say the same thing before I kill them?!"

You know what? I really like the Narnia movies. I saw Prince Caspian last night and it was, well, quite awesome in my humble opinion. It was a bit darker than the first movie, which was a more straight-forward fantasy adventure, and I appreciated that. While C. S. Lewis' usual Christianity allusions were still in place, they weren't quite so blatant this time around. I suppose this MIGHT have something to do with Aslan -- the infamous Jesus-allegory lion -- being much less involved in the story and (besides a single dream sequence) not even appearing until towards the end of the film's finale.

What I loved most about the movie, though, was the new character Reepicheep. Imagine if Errol Flynn was a 6 inch tall mouse, and you'll have a pretty good idea of what he was like. I felt he had some of the best lines in the movie. ^_^

Squirrel: Oh! We could collect nuts, and berries, and eat those!

Reepicheep: Oh, yes, that's a wonderful idea! Then we can just throw them at the enemy. Shut UP!

Or:

Enemy Guard: *turns to see Reepicheep hanging upside-down from a rope and pointing a sword at his face* You're...

Reepicheep: Yes, I'm a MOUSE! *kills guard*

If you liked the first Narnia, definitely go see it. If you haven't seen the first one, don't be afraid to go, you don't really need to have seen the first to understand the second (they do a pretty good job explaining the backstory, according to my friend who never saw the first one).
