Almost everything looks amazing in this second film based on the C.S. Lewis classics: The settings are lovely and pristine, using effects when necessary to enhance. The action and visual effects (water monster, anyone?) are stunning. The young actors are still perfect in their doe-eyed innocence. It's magical and wonderful and will draw you in right away. There's just one problem, then: Who is this boring guy they cast to play Prince Caspian? I would have hoped the film's namesake would have a more memorable on-screen presence (really, I forgot about him even before he was off of my screen; he was so boring compared to the rest of it). To be fair, he's only on-screen for about 15 seconds in the entire trailer (those 15 seconds are horrendous, but still). But, again, he's the namesake. If he's not around, there must be a reason, right? Either he's just really as terrible as those moments make him look (with the bad acting, overly serious line reading, etc.), or -- and I do hope this is the case -- they don't want to reveal too much to viewers in the trailer, and instead want to surprise us without how great he is. This is a big-budget, mainstream Hollywood flick based on a well-known book, though; I'd be shocked if they were trying to maintain any mystery at all in the trailer. That said, I'm holding out hope they are and that he'll blow me away, because this film isn't the last we'll see of the character, so I'd rather not hate him.
