Narnia......What Prince Caspian?

After watching The Chronicles of Narnia : Prince Caspian, it's deja vu like the whole Speed Racer =/= Rain's movie.

Anyone who read newspapers or printed media on the week before the Opening and the Opening week of Speed Racer would have realised that most of the adverts are selling Strongly on Taejo, the Character Rain played. Expectation was that Taejo will be a main character but in reality, he is just a support character. Or actually a plot device.

Same goes for Prince Caspian?
What's his function?
A plot device?
A marketing device?
Prince Caspian was suppose to Titular hero of the movie (as in expectations based on Movie's marketing material) with the Pevensie siblings as supports. I don't really cared about C.S Lewis's original material ; all I want to watch a good movie. Not a movie about misdirections. If I want, there's The Happening by M. "Simi-Lan!".

So as a titular plot device cum posterboy, Prince Caspian, willingly got his nose led by High King Peter, who is such old School English Punk (what if Pevensie is an Emo-Band??? That's a nice thought). He is Angry and Eager to Impress. Kind of like those Young English EPL Footballers. Caspian like some Spanish Imported Newcomer quietly accepted his role as a Locker Room Wuss.

He is also Susan's bitch. It's one thing to be a romantic interest and one thing to be a girl's bitch.

The only other heroic loser in this film is King Edward who ...... I mean? What? His presence is simply to be said "I am in this movie so I can be in the next". Tragic. Like Rain in Speed Racer. He is simply in the movie so he can work as a titular protagonist in another film. I wouldn't mind being paid to do "nothing" (you did something. No one remembered what you did that's all).

Of course, you still don't see the blood. It's dumb like fuck, it's like a bukkake movie without cum. No one is expecting it's like Passion of Christ bloody (a bloody Pro-Christian movie) but the least allow a bare minimum amount of sense. I really find it disturbing to be allowing swinging of swords (which is easily imitated by children) without showing the consequence or danger of what might follow. No real abuse of children this time except you get to see Lucy being flung across the room. Ouch.

There is no real story telling. Just like someone say it "it's a movie about 4 children going into another world to kill things", the movie's focus is on Bloodless Fighting, Talking Animals and a Seemingly Underplayed Key Player.
