Prince Caspian

I went to see the newest edition of the Narnia Chronicles yesterday. I must say I liked it better than the first one. Those who read this blog know that I do not care for fantasy--so it was a stretch for me, as was Iron Man several weeks ago.

This Lewis classic was beautifully photographed--the computer graphics flowed easily and one was drawn into believing in centaurs, elfin Narnians and talking badgers. It did not seem to have much to say spiritually--Of course, Aslan and Lucy save the day. By the way, the battle scene was one of the best I have seen since Star Wars' battles.

The message that good wins over evil was there and all the heroes came out alive--what more does one want in a children's movie?
