Review: The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
On a related note, I completely understand and accept that filmic adaptations of books will never tell the whole story; they can only be as canonical as possible. Still, watching Caspian and Susan flirt was a bit disappointing, as was their kiss at the end, since Caspian doesn't love Susan but instead winds up marrying the daughter of Ramandu the retired star, whom he meets while journeying through and past the Lone Islands. It's kind of the whole reason he turns back from the eastern end of the world. But whatever.
On an unrelated note, I have now written more than 150 film reviews for Pajiba, and that's not even counting Guides or essays on Pajiba Blockbusters or Underappreciated Gems.

Congrats all on all the Pajiba-ing. I enjoy your work.
THANK YOU! I saw that kiss in the trailer and was completely PO'd at their injecting romance into a place where it had absolutely no place. I even complained about it to one of my co-workers.
Caspian KISSES Susan? Susan? Stuffy, boring, becomes-too-old-for-Narnia-Susan?
This isn't just leaving things out of a story so that it's short enough for film. This is bastardy. I'm choking on my own impotent rage.
