Edmund Made the Film For Me - Keynes was excellent

My trip to new York couldn't have been better timed and I relished the opportunity to steal the march on my friends and get an early viewing on Prince Caspian. The first film is my absolute favourite film of all time and I was a huge fan of any scenes with Tilda Swinton/Skandar Keynes.

While Prince Caspian hasn't grabbed that top spot for me just yet and I doubt it will definitely be near the top of my list. Yes I wish they had focused more on character development,and yes I could have done with a tighter shorter end battle and a fleshed out bonding scene between Peter and Edmund but its still a roller-coaster of a ride that grabs you from the start and doesn't let go till that ill judged final song kicks in.

Ben Barnes disappointed me I must say, he was rather blank in the face if you know what I mean. He had one expression and we saw it over and over and the quality of his acting wasn't as good as I was led to believe but it didn't spoil the film for me. The heart and soul of the Narnia films for me will always be the Pevensies. In particular Skandar Keynes as Edmund did an amazing job given the fact he was not centre stage in the movie.I found myself drawn to him on screen more and more. He really was the hero of the film as far as I was concerned and the best actor on screen. I'm so pleased he's continued to develop into a brilliant actor.

The film is a little dark for young children and one child in my cinema had to be led out as she got upset. Whoever got Disney that PG rating is a good salesman! I've lost my heart to the Narnia franchise so maybe I'm easy to please but one thing's for sure I'll be waiting impatiently for 2010 and the wonderful Dawn Treader story.

A plea to the new director-please give plenty of screen time to Edmund next time. He really shone in the limited time he had in Prince Caspian and could do wonders in Dawn Treader. Now I have to wait patiently again to see Prince Caspian in Ireland.
