Narnia Fans? Question about the movie version of Prince Caspian?

*Serious Spoilers if you haven't read the book yet!*

It's so different from the book! For one, Caspian mets the Pevensies when Nikabrik, the hag and the werewolf try to attack Caspian and Trufflehunter and Trumpkin in the book, but in the movie they meet at the point when Lucy is wondering in the woods and Peter finds her. And in the book, Lucy actually sees Aslan and wakes up everyone else and they end up following Aslan and end up seeing him! Things are so different! Ahh...Now I have to ask a question....Are you at all mad about Caspian/Susan in the movie? I mean, wow. Lucy/Caspian had been noted in the books! And don't you think Caspian was a bit too old? Isn't he supposed to be around...Lucys or Edmunds age? Like maybe...12-14? But it seems like he's 18-20 in the movie. Also, are you at all mad that they cut out the part when Trumpkin and Susan duel with their bow and arrow? I have to say, I happy that they chose Ed's part instead though.

Update:

I loved the movie too, it's one of my favorites. I'm just kinda wondering, I'm not so angry about it. At least not the much. :)

    Prince Caspian was thirteen in the fourth book (second movie). Peter is fourteen, Susan is thirteen, Edmund is eleven, and Lucy is nine. Caspian and Susan ARE the same age. I think the Caspian/Susan got a wider range of viewers. Lucy/Caspian? Okay, I have not seen that in the books. They were more like brother and sister!

    I actually like the fact that Lucy wanders into the forest. Georgie Henley is an awesome actress; I really enjoyed that scene.

    Okay, yes I am angry that they cut that part out. Susan rules in this movie anyway, but that would have been a really good scene. They actually filmed it with Caspian instead of Trumpkin, as an alternative scene for finding the Telmarine sentry. But, yeah, Edmund looks HOT when he's fighting. :D Peter should not get all the attention.

    I'm not really picky about translating the book exactly into the movie, so I didn't mind the changes they made...esp if those changes involve Ben Barnes. But yeah, Caspian is supposed to be about 14 and they added that whole Susan.Caspian thing... hopefully they'll do a better job on VDT.

    But I still like the movie.

    I am not disappointed i think the film was really good, maybe not so good in some parts of the film as the other Narnia episodes.

    Hes actually supposed to be that old. like, 17-ish.

    And I found that pairing adorable. Unseen, but adorable.

    and Ed needed that little duel. We needed to see how well he could fight.
