How do you think the first two Walden films could have been made better?  The Lion the Witch, and the Wardrobe was quite a good film, but I thought Aslan could have been made more of a central commanding figure as he is in the book. Much of the time he is in the background and you don’t get the feeling that he is the most important character. The first movie I think was the best of the three and for the most part had a good story adaptation. The part where the wolves chase the Pevensies on to the ice was not in the book.  It probably was added to make the movie more exciting and was a scene which the story didn’t really need. Thank goodness it was rather brief. 

Prince Caspian has some exciting battle scenes, but I think they could have been shorter with less emphasis on them. The castle location was a little different from the book, although the place of the event didn’t matter that much.  Also, Ben Barnes seemed too old for the role.  I think they could have chosen a young teenaged boy actor to have Caspian’s age more consistent with the book. Ben Barnes had a different accent than in the Dawn Treader movie, which was very noticeable and somewhat unrealistic.  He was a fairly good actor for the adult Caspian in Dawn Treader. I liked the Prince Caspian film better than I did at first even with the changes from the book, although it still is my least favorite of the three. It seems they digressed from Lewis’ original story by having those extended battle scenes. Other parts of the book were more faithful such as Lucy meeting Aslan in the woods, which was well done. So I don’t think the film was a total loss, although it might have been made much better.
