I have a review on my blog – the short version is that I agree with Hwin and Brian, in that they didn't get everything right, but what they did get right was perfect. And one of those things was the relationship between Eustace and Reepicheep. Reep's character was very true to the book, and an improvement over the character we saw in PC. And Will Poulter was excellent as Eustace. When I began crying at the end of the movie (and I did – my sister, I and our friend were all in tears), it was because of these two. But I don't understand all the critics who were slamming the acting: Georgie, Skandar and Ben did very well with their characters, too. I LOVED the ending, and will see the movie again. Here's the link to my blog: http://mary-j-59.livejournal.com/67460.html
It's not like the actors are going to read this. And me "pairing" them up is not actually going to happen. My one little post doesn't even effect them. Maybe some people would agree.
I dissagreed with one post and everyone thinks I'm "attacking" them. And then 20 people "yell" at me and say that I'm not letting people speak their opininion. GlumPuddle if you are reading this, I won't ever comment on your posts again, considering I'll be cyber bullied for my opinion.
It was AWESOME… LITERALLY. Edmund was a wonderful actor, Lucy was amazing, but Eustace; OH MY GOODNESS! He's my new favorite actor!!! He's soooo good! But the movie did seem like they rushed into it. And there were a few cheesy lines, but it didn't ruin the movie. Even though I expected more, it was awesome. I especially loved the sea serpent! It was really epic and awesome. They did change the story but it's not bad like PC. And the change in the story definetly didn't ruin the movie or book. Above all, Aslan was TOTALLY….INDESCRIBABLE!! …in a good way!
Well, Eustace was good. But little else. They tried to tie all the episodes of the book together but they used a totally arbitrary plot element to do it. And, frankly, there was just no Narnia in the story. I don't know how else to describe it. It just wasn't Narnia. Remember that moment in the book where the Narnians (greatly outnumbered) march ceremoniously through the Lone Islands and everyone is in awe? "Then Caspian caused his banner to be advanced and his trumpet to be blown and every man drew his sword and set his face into a joyful sternness, and they marched up the street so that the street shook, and their armour shone (for it was a sunny morning) so that one could hardly look at it steadily." There was nothing close to that feeling in the movie — and I know there COULD have been, because sequences in the first film imparted that sense of Narnian nobility and joy.
Funny, they talked about how they were "expanding" the story of Dawn Treader but they actually shrank it. The Lone Islands are just a short action sequence now, instead of a story of the perils of bureaucracy and the evil of allowing bad things to happen because of pragmatism, and the ultimate triumph of impractical, noble goodness.
I might think I was being impossible to please except that the first Narnia movie pleased me immensely. It managed to keep the characters and the feel of Narnia as Lewis wrote them. So I know it's possible to do this in a film.
I do hope everyone enjoys it, though. I envy people who can enjoy these movies. 😉
I see what you mean. But about the not enough "Narnia" thing, it may be becasuse the story does not actually take place in Narnia. Maybe you're just not used to all these new "non-Narnian" characters like the dufflepuds and such 🙂
No, I don't mean the geography of Narnia, the nation. I mean the feel of Narnia, the world, as Lewis imagined it, which includes so much more than geography or how things look (the movie looked beautiful — well, except for the cheesy green mist). It's a subtle thing, and difficult to pin down with words, but I know that the movie just didn't hit it for me. I'm happy if it did for others, though.
And of course I am familiar with Dufflepuds — from the book. They're not really the same in the movie. Coriakin tells them that he made them invisible to save them from the evil mist. That took away the delightful little story about how and why they turned themselves invisible which is what makes them so unique in the book. Without that, they are out of place. I can only imagine what someone seeing the movie who had never read the book would think. "Uh, now we have little midgets with big feet. Okaaaaaay . . ." Feels like something out of Alice in Wonderland: weird for weirdness' sake.
Oh darn! I liked the part in the book about the ugliness of the dufflepuds and all that, I really do think they should have left out the green mist. So then why does Lucy read the spell to make them visible? (I'm open to that spoiler) 🙂
I love Fox but Disney was wise to drop this unappealing sequel. Funny the last film has many complaints about Susan and Caspian which so many now liked and now this movie is barely floating at the box office. Susan and Caspian online esp Youtube has more viewers than the movie attendance of Voyage. Im sure Popplewell and Mosely are glad to have move on. Tron will kill Narnia.
I wish it had been like that in my area. There was barely anyone in the theater. But I think that was probably because so many people were studying for finals which are this coming week here. So hopefully that means everyone will come next week
But I agree with quite a few folks. What was done right was spot on. Other parts missed for me. Seems different parts hit well for some and not for others.
That said, all those involved are professionals! Y'all rock. Tough job you got there making a lot of people happy. I may not agree with all of the changes, but it was a darn worthy effort! Thank you. 😀
If it can happen, I would like to see The Silver Chair made.
To be fair to glumPuddle, I can see his passion for the Chronicles and the resulting feeling. Don't always agree with him, but I can understand.
i really liked it and im sooo happy that skandar actually had a role in this movie i mean in PC i think he had the least to do. but the thing was it didn't feel the same like when i watched the first two. this one didn't match them. VDT was like completely different and i know i should expect that from books that have completely different settings and plots and stuff but idk. at first i thought PC was terrible but VDT didn't have the same kinda feel that the first two had and im not saying that's bad and idk if anyone will get me. i guess it was the change in director and the way Apted saw it. and yea it did seem rushed. it seemed like the crew had a chore list of all the islands to go to and they would go to each one as fast as possible to check it off from the list and then go straight on to the next one. and to me thats why i didn't really get emotional at the end because it didnt seem like the voyage had alot of meaning. and what i hated the most was that it ended with the edmund lucy and eustace looking all sad and closing the door i found that so depressing i wish they could've said something to each other at the end but whatever i still enjoyed it and i cant wait till its out on dvd
When I saw PC opening night the theater was PACKED. But we went to another theater this opening night and there were just a few people there. It was much funner when it was packed.
brian i 100% agree with you like when they said they were in narnia it didn't feel like it to me i mean it was just the ocean and then when they went to the islands it was in closed spaces and even when it did look open the land was dry looking and you didn't get any sense of beauty from any of the islands and yea now that i've read your comment this movie was drawn down to scale which was sad. the special effects were very disappointing and your right it didn't have the narnian feel and im a huge skandar fan so to see him end with this movie upsetted me but i was so glad that he had a big part in the film. overall i enjoyed the movie still and i suggest everyone to watch it
Queen Elizabeth, I'm not trying to sound negative. More than anything I was wishing VTD to win, to be as wonderful as it could be. All I was trying to say was–be a little easier on us. We are just venting our disapointment, and it's the alternative to crying our eyes out. We LOVE Narnia, and C.S. Lewis and his unparalled imagination and boundless creativity and pure depth in simplicity. We were just hoping for too much, I guess. It was probably our falt. 🙁
and also i hated the whole evil thing. the first movie you got the witch dictating narnia,the second you have telmarines invading, and the third… you have green mist that makes people disappear and the only way to end it is to collect the swords?? i mean that was pretty ridiculous. i understand that maybe the film might've been dull if you stuck with the book and just searched for the lords but they didn't make it any greater by adding this kind of a plot. evil green mist doesn't make you scared or jump off your seat or intensify things. and was it just me or did the dialogue seem awkward at times. they talked so proper at times that it didn't seem natural. but yeah still love all the actors in the film
I appreciate your comment elanor. But when you say "ganging up on us" I don't get that. I didn't gang up on anyone. I dissagreed with ONE person. I would like it if this whole group of people that hates me would just end this please.
This may seem stupid and it is nothing wrong with the movie and certainly not a complaint about it cause I did like it. I was just hoping to see more of Ramandu's daughter (my favorite character) and it would have been cool to see Ramandu. But it was still awesome. They need to keep going cause I want to see Horse and His Boy.
Wow I really liked it! There were a couple cheesy lines but the rest of the movie more than made up for it. Edmund was in it so much more which had me grinning like a fool with excitement at times. (Mild spoiler?) I always felt in the last one he got pushed to the side way too much and I am glad that that fact was brought up in this movie. The only thing I was really sad about was that Peter wasn't in it that much – even though he wasn't in the book at all and I should have know better than to get my hopes up of course. 😀 I guess I just love their brotherly relationship way too much. Eustace was awesome and and the sea serpent was very cool. I will be saying it at least 5 more times!
I agree with everything you said, and I am disappointed we didn't see more of Caspian and Ramandu's daughter together. I am really aggrivated that they didn't have Ramandu in it at all, and they made Lilliandil the star!
overall, i thoroughly enjoyed it, very much. i actually found the changed plotline of green list and seven swords very cool and interesting. there were 2 major things that really, REALLY bothered me: it felt extremely rushed, especially at the beginning and at the Lone Islands skirmish, and the script was not so good. many times they said something that was horribly cheesy and very disney (which is hilarious because the one movie that wasnt made by disney was the most disneyish). i especially didnt like all that rediculous bantering and enticing from Edmund when they were battling the Sea Serpent, with all that cheesy "I'm still here!" "Come and get me!" i was like "are you serous? that sounds so stupid!"
the Sea Serpent was another thing. i was both amazed and bothered by it at the same time. when it suddenly opened up with all those creepy bug-like limbs (or something!) it REALLY creeped me out big time. but it did look really awesome.
the highlights were totally Eustace and Reepicheep! just for those two i recommend people to see it! i was extremely, EXTREMELY impressed with Will's performance. he was spectacular! and along with Reep they were show-stealers, no lie! the dragon looked amazing! i actually almost started tearing up when Dragon Eustace was crying (just like in the book!) and Reep comforted him. and their little duel was absolutely hilarious and brilliant 😀
the dufflepuds! oh my goodness they were so awesome! they are another thing i would recommend to see the movie for. they were just so cool 😀
Aslan looked amazing! i was sort of sad at the such small amount of him there was, but then i remembered that that was just about the same amount that he appeared in the book. i was hoping to see much more interaction between him and Eustace, because the only time they ever had contact was when Aslan changed him back, and Eustace didnt even speak to him, and somehow at the end he knew it was Aslan. i dont know, one of those plot holes i guess. but he LOOKED amazing, thats what was the best thing.
you know, it was one of those movies that was really amazing and kind of bad at the same time, sort of like when i saw PC the first time. but now i absolutely love PC, and im sure after some time and a few more showings i'll love VDT too 🙂
my thanks to all who worked so hard to make this film, and much appreciation. For Aslan!
yes, that was one of the things i was disspointed about. it always looked like she was going to be there a lot, but she just came and went, and i was like "Where'd she go?" and another thing, i had really wanted them to somehow put in the film the fact that Caspian went back and married her, because the people who havent read the books wont know that. darn. well, she looked great, and very beautiful, of course 🙂
yea i was so happy skandar actually had a part in this movie too and i also couldnt help stop smiling because he actually had lines and scenes that were about him! lol as you can see i was upset with PC
i saw it yesterday. it was AMAZING!!!!!!! there were definite things that were completely different from the book, but i don't think it was as bad as we all thought. the witch didn't have that main a part and gael wasn't a major character. the islands were a little different, and a little out of order, but it was very well done. i definitely recommend all narnia (and non-narnia) fans to see it 🙂
I thought it was very close to the books, the only changes were from expanding the story line of the dark island to connect all the islands together in breaking its spell. The other changes were of omission which were most likely caused because of budget and screen time. I can't wait to see it again as it was my favorite of three made so far.
The movie was AMAZING! I saw it today. I cried at the part when Aslan said that Ed and Lucy couldn't go back to Narnia.I really liked the part when Aslan said that he had another name in our world, and the children would have to learn it there, I think that he might have been talking about God.I can't say it enough…Loved it!!!!! 😀 :):D
You've done a lot more than disagree with one post. I've watched you post on other news stories, you do the exact same thing everywhere. Attack people, complain about them expressing their negative opinion, then cry foul when people call you on it and try to act like you've been victimized. Grow up.
I'm not going to see it because I already know I'm not going to enjoy it. Don't really see the point in spending hard-earned money on something that'll just depress me and make me angry. Not saying people should skip it or anything like that, so please no rants about how I'm trying to bend the impressionable minds of NWebbers everywhere. 😛
I've been trying to end this stupid argument and people keep bashing me for it. The only ones that need to grow up are those who keep criticizing me. I wish you could all be mature enough to end this. Because some of your posts are very hurtful. And I'm not being a "baby" or feeling "sorry for myself" when there is nothing to feel sorry for. I just thought we were entitled to our own opinions, but I guess not. I never told anyone that they couldn't post something, just that I dissagreed with them.
I'm reading your review right now and before I go on I just have to say that I love what you said about the themes! That's exactly what I've been thinking too (and I also agree with you about the rest of the stuff, at least up to that point, this just really stands out to me) and I couldn't have put it any better myself! 🙂
Havin watched your youtube channel from about 120 till 137, but also having heard some very good reviews on the movie, especially about Will Poulter and his character development of Eustace, would you care commenting on that? Slightly put off by your reviews though i will watch it and report to you later. I have only read the book once, but i don't believe the idea of the story was the longing for one's true home, more of the character's development, though if Reep was really as you said he would be in the film then i suppose that's too much. The longing may not really be there for the boys, perhaps for Lucy, i suppose cos they still hav family in their world and Lucy's special connection ( at least i think of it tt way ) with Aslan would make her more likely than Edmund to want to leave their family behind. Also, would you mind puttin down your facebook page link for me to add you? Not really anticipating watchin the movie more of watchin this mystifying Will Poulter performance i've been hearing so much of.
By saying that's too much i mean the filmakers have gone oveboard and got the character soooooooooo wrong! Even though i said that i felt that was not the core of the book, finding one's true home, this is in fact, Reep's only desire and anyone who has read the book will know that.
Yes. I liked this film better than "Prince Caspian."
And it is a worthy companion to "LWW," though perhaps, not as classic as that one was. 😉
Queen Elizabeth, first of all 'hipocrites' as you spelled is actually spelled 'hypocrites'. Secondly, every person is entitled to their own opinion.
I will post a full review here very soon. 😉
Thanks for your interest. 🙂
Why are you skipping it? We need to support it!!!
it's sorta his choice, you know? Maybe he's really busy 🙂
I SAW THE MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had trouble getting tickets. when I got there I bought the last tickets!!!! I couln't believe the line!!! Every show was sold out!!!
I have a review on my blog – the short version is that I agree with Hwin and Brian, in that they didn't get everything right, but what they did get right was perfect. And one of those things was the relationship between Eustace and Reepicheep. Reep's character was very true to the book, and an improvement over the character we saw in PC. And Will Poulter was excellent as Eustace. When I began crying at the end of the movie (and I did – my sister, I and our friend were all in tears), it was because of these two. But I don't understand all the critics who were slamming the acting: Georgie, Skandar and Ben did very well with their characters, too. I LOVED the ending, and will see the movie again. Here's the link to my blog: http://mary-j-59.livejournal.com/67460.html
People are only ganging up on you because you are attacking them. 😛
It's not like the actors are going to read this. And me "pairing" them up is not actually going to happen. My one little post doesn't even effect them. Maybe some people would agree.

I agree. From the scenes I've seen on here Will P. does a fantastic job, and looks and acts exactly how I thought Eustace would.
Thank you BlueRain. I'm not against the negative comments, but I personally like to hear the positives.
It was AWESOME… LITERALLY. Edmund was a wonderful actor, Lucy was amazing, but Eustace; OH MY GOODNESS! He's my new favorite actor!!! He's soooo good! But the movie did seem like they rushed into it.

How is the 3D effect? Does the movie really pop out?
I'm going 2 c it on Sunday. P.S. Hey sis Emily!
Please, can we all stay calm and have a little courtesy?
Yep, same here
This may seem stupid and it is nothing wrong with the movie and certainly not a complaint about it cause I did like it. I was just hoping to see more of Ramandu's daughter (my favorite character) and it would have been cool to see Ramandu. But it was still awesome. They need to keep going cause I want to see Horse and His Boy.
*fault
We don't hate you! We're all just very opinionated, I think. 🙂
The 3D didn't do that much, nothing is popping out at you it just adds more depth to it. I'm still glad i saw it in 3D though 🙂
Wow I really liked it! There were a couple cheesy lines but the rest of the movie more than made up for it. Edmund was in it so much more which had me grinning like a fool with excitement at times. (Mild spoiler?) I always felt in the last one he got pushed to the side way too much and I am glad that that fact was brought up in this movie. The only thing I was really sad about was that Peter wasn't in it that much – even though he wasn't in the book at all and I should have know better than to get my hopes up of course. 😀 I guess I just love their brotherly relationship way too much. Eustace was awesome and and the sea serpent was very cool. I will be saying it at least 5 more times!
*seeing it (my bad)
me too!!!!!!!!!!!!
Zhixara, how did you find a musical of Narnia???? I want my school to do that!!!!!!!!!
I agree with everything you said, and I am disappointed we didn't see more of Caspian and Ramandu's daughter together. I am really aggrivated that they didn't have Ramandu in it at all, and they made Lilliandil the star!

The movie was AMAZING! I saw it today. I cried at the part when Aslan said that Ed and Lucy couldn't go back to Narnia.I really liked the part when Aslan said that he had another name in our world, and the children would have to learn it there, I think that he might have been talking about God.I can't say it enough…Loved it!!!!! 😀 :):D
As everyone is adding their two cents I'll just say I enjoyed very much.
Something no one has mentioned: Was Douglas Gresham playing Harold? I mean we never saw his face or heard him speak…
You've done a lot more than disagree with one post. I've watched you post on other news stories, you do the exact same thing everywhere. Attack people, complain about them expressing their negative opinion, then cry foul when people call you on it and try to act like you've been victimized. Grow up.
I'm not going to see it because I already know I'm not going to enjoy it. Don't really see the point in spending hard-earned money on something that'll just depress me and make me angry. Not saying people should skip it or anything like that, so please no rants about how I'm trying to bend the impressionable minds of NWebbers everywhere. 😛
I believe he was in the Lone Islands, playing a slave trader.
I do now!

I've been trying to end this stupid argument and people keep bashing me for it. The only ones that need to grow up are those who keep criticizing me. I wish you could all be mature enough to end this. Because some of your posts are very hurtful. And I'm not being a "baby" or feeling "sorry for myself" when there is nothing to feel sorry for. I just thought we were entitled to our own opinions, but I guess not. I never told anyone that they couldn't post something, just that I dissagreed with them.
I can't believe I forgot about that! Now I'm just gonna have to watch it again and look for him 🙂
I'll wait for the DVD, then I can rewind, plause, and play anytime.
I'm reading your review right now and before I go on I just have to say that I love what you said about the themes! That's exactly what I've been thinking too (and I also agree with you about the rest of the stuff, at least up to that point, this just really stands out to me) and I couldn't have put it any better myself! 🙂
I had a thought. What if some of the people on here are actually cast in the movie. If I was in a movie I'd like to see what people say about me. lol
Havin watched your youtube channel from about 120 till 137, but also having heard some very good reviews on the movie, especially about Will Poulter and his character development of Eustace, would you care commenting on that? Slightly put off by your reviews though i will watch it and report to you later. I have only read the book once, but i don't believe the idea of the story was the longing for one's true home, more of the character's development, though if Reep was really as you said he would be in the film then i suppose that's too much. The longing may not really be there for the boys, perhaps for Lucy, i suppose cos they still hav family in their world and Lucy's special connection ( at least i think of it tt way ) with Aslan would make her more likely than Edmund to want to leave their family behind. Also, would you mind puttin down your facebook page link for me to add you? Not really anticipating watchin the movie more of watchin this mystifying Will Poulter performance i've been hearing so much of.
By saying that's too much i mean the filmakers have gone oveboard and got the character soooooooooo wrong! Even though i said that i felt that was not the core of the book, finding one's true home, this is in fact, Reep's only desire and anyone who has read the book will know that.
