Best:
1. Edmund talking Miraz into accepting the duel with Peter.
2. The River God demolishing the bridge
3. Queen Prunaprismia and baby going with the rest of the Telmarines back to Earth.
Other than those items, I liked much of PC, especially as in this version Edmund backs up Lucy when she sees Aslan the first time at the cliff.
Worst:
1. Battle scenes drawn out far too long
2. Susan fighting. Is this a rip-off from Lucy's role in HHB?
3. Some of the best lines from book PC being omitted from the film. Such as:
(a) Trumpkin saying: "I know the difference between giving advice and taking orders. You've had my advice, and now it's the time for orders".
(b) Peter apologising to Aslan for leading his party wrong. I think both these lines summed up PC better than the movie.
The Worst Moments (a.k.a the moments that made me gag):
1) When Caspian rescues Susan in the woods. I was getting all into that moment of her fighting by herself and then *cue the heroic music* Caspian to the rescue! Yeah, like she really needed your help, dude! I would have loved to see Aslan come roaring in! I guess I should add that the whole "Suspian" made me gag, but at least they didn't go overboard.
2) Peter's attitude. Now don't get me wrong, I don't hate the way they handled Peter, but they could have developed him differently and better. He was just a little too snapish and a little too immature for my liking. But I must admit, Peter's perfectness is one of my least favorite parts of the book. It makes things just a little too easy. But Peter's snaping at Trumpkin and not listening to Susan is totally out of charactor- even if he's struggling to know what his role is.
3) The Miraz's bedroom scene. It just didn't really feel real. I love Miraz and his wife in that scene, and Caspian is very sincere, but I don't know, maybe it's Peter and Susan's entrance. The whole thing feels a bit fake.
Other things I didn't really enjoy: Georgie in the Treasure Chamber didn't seem right.
The Funniest Moments (a.k.a the parts that were meant to be serious and I wanted to burst our laughing or I still do!)
1) The Council scene. Okay, Caspian's eyeshadow is way to noticable and the squirrel I just could not take seriously and Caspian's speech is a bit..corny? I don't hate the scene, I just think they should have done things a little different!
2) Begining of battle: you know, the part where Caspian is riding underground, and then the giants (or whatever they are) knock down the supports to the "roof" and Caspian gallops up the turf ramp. That would never work! It makes for a good laugh in my house, though.
3) When the Pevensie's meet Caspian and his troops. The looks that are extanged there are so funny! And those lines are sort of weak.
"Susan/Legolas" SOOO corny.
Gotta laugh when she does that, right aragorn2?
The Best Moments (a.k.a the moments that made me either really happy or made me cry or really get into the moment)
1) Witch coming-back scene. Love it! Gave me chills, Edmund is awesome!
2) Lucy and Susan conversation up through Lucy's dream. Those were both so moving and really made me satisfied.
3) Gourge scene. Oh, that's the best scene of the whole story! I was slightly disappointed with it, and I'm not sure why, but I love it still!
4) Duel. It was done really well, I love the music in it and the seriousness or it. Although, Peter's grunts and yelling always make me think of a tennes match.
5) Entering Narnia and ruins. Ah, that is so happy! And sad! At the same time! The lines in the train station are a little dorky, but I still really like them. And then the part when they're playing in the water- these scenes are so perfect in that that is what Narnia is totally like, and the way you would feel if you reentered there!
6) (last one!) Edmund's "fight" with Trumpkin. Perfectly done!
Merry Christmas!

Best moments...
1. I like the scene where Aslan is gently reprimanding Lucy for not coming to him because of the others. I just think its something to be mindful of, that even though Lucy was the one to discover Narnia and is seemingly close to perfect, she still made mistakes.
I also like the end when she and Aslan came on the bridge together and she pulls her dagger.
2. Hmm, I liked Edmund/Trumpkin's fight on the beach, also liked when Edmund goes to Miraz and says 'So you're bravely refusing to fight someone half your age.' I think that's what it was anyway, I can't remember exactly, but you get which part I mean.
3. Okay, yeah, I know this one is kind of ridiculous but I really liked some of Peter's arrogance. Like he and Caspian's arguement. ("You, him, your father! Narnia's better off without the lot of you!" ~Peter~ "I'm not the one who abandoned Narnia!" ~Caspian~) I don't know, I didn't like the way Peter treated Lucy, but some of the things he said to Caspian just made my day and same with Caspian. They were both arrogant and it made roll my eyes at the both of them, but it was still entertaining.
4. Okay, had to throw this out there... Whenever Caspian said to Miraz about him killing his father or whatever... was anyone besides me having a flashback to the Princess Bride? "Hello, I am Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

Worst moments
1. Wasn't fond of Caspian running into his Uncle's bedchamber. Kind of ignorant to me.
2. The scene where Peter and Caspian are both tempted by the White Witch. The temptation itself was done awesomly. What I didn't like was how Lucy appeared so defenseless bc she is the Warrior Queen. Also disliked Susan and Caspian's looks to one another in that scene and then Susan stalked off like a petulant child. Hello, he made a mistake, so did your own brother. But no, she was irritated at Caspian.
3. Yeah, I saved this spot for the Suspian kiss. I promise you the first time I watched PC I never saw a romance between them, so when 'the kiss' *shudder* came around, I was like, what??? Of course I went back and watched the movie again and saw the glances and the corniness of the horn scene. "Keep it. You might need to call me again." *gag*
I read a bunch of Y'all's comments btw. I liked the one where somebody accused Peter of having a brain transplant
