Prince Caspian

I went to the film Prince Caspian last night without high expectations. Consequently I was completely blown away. The acting and cinemetography was spot on, and they even stayed very close to the actual events of the book, to a rare degree. Many of the things that marred the first film, such as cheezy Disney moments, terrible green screen montages, and strange additions to the plot, aren't present here. The only complaint I have about the movie is that they seemed to be too lazy to rescore the movie and used alot of the same exact tracks off the other one, not just themes, tracks. They redeemed themselves of course by replacing the lame visiting artists off the previous movie's soundtrack with Regina Spektor and Switchfoot, instantly earning my respect. I was very impressed and it is all I can do to stop from going back to see it again tonight. They actually lived up to my childhood imaginings on this one.
