^Yeah, that would have been awful if he lost his accent (I think that was one of the praises that a critic gave him but I am not too sure on that)

I know that many critics (well at least the articles I saw anyway) weren't to pleased with his performance as Caspian (I ended up throwing their reviews away)-but in truth the way they made it sound, I thought he would have been so much worse. But to my relief I thought he was great in the role

Yeah, apart from being somewhat older than I originally thought Caspian would be, I think Ben is a wonderful Caspian.
I can't wait for Dawn Treader, though... I love the book.

^ Yeah, Caspian's supposed to be about Peter's age? Ha, not in the movie!

Oh well, BB is great.

^ however, seeing as Peter is somewhat older in this one, Caspian actually looks somewhat Peter's age. So it's not so much a big deal as if Peter were the proper age, however since all of the kids are a little older than in the books, it makes sense that Caspian is, too.

yeah, I was surprised by how equal in age Ben looked to Will. Seeing him in interviews and stuff apart from the cast makes him look a little older; but when you see him interacting with Will and the others, he doesn't seem quite so old. :)

nope. I've heard that he's been called an "Orlando Bloom"; however, I think he has lots more acting potential than OB ever has had. and this is coming from a used-to-be Bloom fangirl. :D

You know, I marvel at what a couple of years can do to people, boys especially.

I mean, LWW came out in 05, which mean filming took place that year and in 04. Will still looked kinda boyish, even though he was 17/18. A couple of years later and he's hot, not boyish anymore. Skandar has grown up a lot too (moreso than Will), but he still has a little bit of the boyish-ness about him. But it'll probably be gone by the time VotDT is released.

I'm entertained by the fact that Will Moseley is about a month older than me. He's way cute.

*end Will fangirling*

I agree, Will and Ben do look fairly close in age, although Ben does look older. :lol: I found an icon on LJ that sums up my feelings about both of them:

:lol: :lol: :lol:
