The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian was perfect. In most book to movie adaptations, things are lost and the spirit of the book is never translated. But I think the filmmakers really captured the spirit of the book. And Caspian is my favorite character from the series.

I will concede that they deviated from the book in key parts (I’ll try not to post spoilers). I will say that the flirting glances (and the ultimate resolution) between Susan and Prince Caspian set this little fangirl on fire. Caspian is meant to be with Ramandu’s daughter dammit.
