In The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, Caspian (Ben Barnes) spoke with a pronounced Spanish accent, as did the other Telmarines. In this film, Caspian now speaks with an English accent. This is done purposefully by the filmmakers, who no longer needed to match Caspian's accent to the other Telmarines, so they chose to use the actor's more realistic natural British accent. People's accents change over time in real life as well. See more »
I was SO looking forward to the Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and was sorely disappointed.
The film felt like they took the original story, chopped it up, then threw it in a blender with seven magical swords and some ridiculous green mist!
While the film stayed true to main themes of the story, much of the character development and purpose to each of the minor island stories was lost. Unfortunately this meant that most of the magic of the story was lost as well.
I gave the film 6 stars due to the redeeming qualities that were the stunning visuals, some excellent acting (notably by Will Poulter as Eustace), and a beautifully executed final scene.
If you haven't read the book, then you may enjoy this film immensely, but if you are a true Narnia fan, don't go in with very high expectations.
