The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
Jimmy the Squid:
I saw this today and I was reasonably impressed. I mean, I can't remember the books at all, or even if I read any further than LWW but I enjoyed this film. I was a little confused as to why the Telmarines were Spaniards but hey, whatever I'm not racist. I have plenty of Spanish friends! It was nice that the kids were significantly better actors than they were in the first one and the atmosphere of the whole film was much more gripping.

I haven't read the books for maybe six years now, I still have the box set unless it is in my brother's room now, but I noticed some changes between book and movie. The battle scenes were pretty good, though both my dad and I noticed that after every cut, Susan's quiver seemed to have been refilled, and I don't remember mention of the quiver being magic in LWW, but hey, that doesn't matter. It did fall victim at some points to having people sitting around after they saw an archer so he could shoot them, rather than charge him and knock him down before he could loose an arrow, but it wasn't too noticeable.
*If I ever become an author, and someone wants to buy the rights to the movie, one of the pieces of fine print is going to involve drastic punishment if a love story is added, especially between two pre-existing characters.

If you recall, St. Nick came to the kids early on in LWW and gave them special gifts, a magical bow and quiver was given to Susan.
Nodaisho:
Like I said, I don't remember him saying the quiver was magical. Remember the horn being magical, and lucy's vial, but I don't remember the other stuff being magical.
And you know, right now is the first time I wondered just why the hell saint nick would have a sword, bow, and dagger for teenagers. I mean, sure, they would love them, but I don't think that it would be something their mother would want them to have, even with the two generation gap between now and then.

Way back when, people gave their kids weapons for holidays all the time. Not so much swords in the twentieth century, but an archery set? Yeah, that'd have been a common gift.

Or an official Red Ryder carbine-action two-hundred-shot range model air rifle, for that matter.
Anyway, you know, different universe. If you’re accepting talking god-lions and witches, I don’t think Santa Claus handing out weaponry is that unbelievable.
