I loved Caspian's more confident and less temperamental demeanor in VDT, that convinced me of his older age much more than the beard did Yet he still managed to feel youthful by delivering some humorous remarks and having a wonderful smile around Lucy and Edmund. But I also wish there'd been more between Eustace and Caspian too, primarily because they're fairly teary when it's time to part ways. In the book I think it's Caspian who gives Eustace a sword to fight with. If there was any possibility of SC in sight I think this would definitely be a huge shortcoming to VDT, the lack of set up for Eustace's closeness to Caspian. Remember he was too scared to see Caspian old and frail? In my opinion that says a lot about them as friends.

So sorry for this random question, I have not read the books, but just wanted to know how old Caspian was in VDT?

Thanks in advance

It never said exactly, but I think he was supposed to be about sixteen or seventeen.

I really liked Caspian in VDT! He was so totally the young king. I really loved the relationship that Caspian and Ed have. I loved Deathwater! I think Ben has really become the part!

Like Lady Haleth said above he's supposed to be 16/17 but since in PC movie he already appears like 17, that'll make him about 20 years old in VDT movie.

16 according to the NWeb Character Ages page. Thank goodness for on-site resources! W00t!

He really brought his title to the next level! I love his acting and his accent. Yeey for Ben!!

I came into the movie not expecting to like him, but I actually thought he was much better than he was in PC. Losing the corny accent certainly helped. I actually found him to be much closer to his personality in the book than he had been in the previous movie (with the exception of the whole father issue.) So overall, he was one of the better things about the movie.

I was at a party tonight and overheard a friend saying something like, "I sure am glad they re-cast Caspian, because they guy they had last time sure didn't have any Oscars in his future!" So I guess that's a vote for Ben's acting for this movie. And the importance of the accent.

^ hogglestock, my sister kept asking me if I was sure Ben Barnes was still playing Caspian in VDT!

Make way for King Caspian! I adored him in PC, and I love him in VDT. Although I think the accent is cool, I agree it's a good thing that he lost it for this film, especially if it improved his acting. Just how Caspian had grown in leadership and authority was very awesome! And his friendship with Edmund and short moment with Lilliandil was very sweet and well done. His fighting, stunts, emotions... Ben really hit the character this time! If we get another chance to see him again, I will be very pleased! Great job for Caspian and Ben!

I liked Ben Barnes very much as King Caspian. I liked the accent in PC as well, but the English one is better. I'm not fond of the beard, though, because Caspian is still supposed to be quite young, but ok. That's not a big issue for me.

Caspian is more confident, and not as stiff and earnest as in PC. He has grown and become a king in his own right. I think Ben Barnes portrays him well. Especially in the fight with Edmund, I loved that! I would have loved seeing him march into Gumpas' castle, Narrowhaven was a bit of a disappointment. But that's not BB's fault.
BB's performance was good!!

I just saw VotDT for the 4th time yesterday. I am constantly amazed at how Caspian's character improved when the accent was dropped! it felt more like Ben had more room to put himself into his role and it seemed so much more realistic and natural!

^^ I agree!!! I feel that without the accent he truly got to step into his own without having to make sure the accent was okay. His acting was very good in the movie! Bravo Ben!

^^and Caspian seemed more like a brother to the Pevensies and Eustace this time. he seemed like a big older brother!

I really liked Caspian's and Edmund's relationship in the movie definitally, really brotherly, I liked it
