The ship was STRONG with this one. (and here I thought there was no ship until Dawn Treader! *rimshot*)
Maybe it felt more sledgehammery in the movie than the book - a lot of things felt like they were being driven home harder this time around. Granted, Aslan's resurrection in Wardrobe was a pretty heavy allusion, but somehow the allusions in that movie felt less heavy handed than they did. Also? In terms of storytelling, it felt really choppy and disorganized.
The Telmarines were descended from pirates from our world, so I can see where the 16th/17th century Spaniard idea comes from, though it's not one I would have thought of. Me either. I see where they were going with it, but the armor/dress/accents were really obvious.
It seems kind of cheap to make them so obviously Foreign (Evil) Conquerors, but I suppose I shouldn't expect subtlety and nuance.

Snerk. I agree, but SNERK.
