It's now so long since I read then that I really can't remember the stories. I think I need to borrow them from my daughter and take another pass through.

I'm pretty excited for the next film. Can't wait to see Eustace come into play. He is one of my favorite characters in the books.
[spoiler]I really hope the Eustace and the dragon story doesn't get cut from the film. I could see how that story could seem a little weird in a film, but I'd still like to see it.[/spoiler]

I've seen a few commercials on TV now for this. Looking forward to it.

I still need to see Prince Caspian.

The joke is that we've had it on DVD since last Christmas and I'm the only one who hasn't had a chance to watch it all the way through.

Regardless, I'm looking forward to this one too.

Saw The Dawn Treader with the family today. It was a lot of fun. It follows the book pretty well, cutting out a few things. The special effects are pretty well done. All and all a good film.

I'd like to see this one soon too. I've enjoyed the previous two films.

Have you ever read the books before?

Just got back from our annual christmas eve family trip to the cinema. Overall, this was alright.

I thought there were a few plot inconsistancies and flaws that might irritate those who critically analyse every scene of a movie. Some of the CGI characters interaction with real actors was slightly off with regards the eyelines not lining up properly.

But, as a family film, it was fun. the kids both loved it.....as did Amanda.

I enjoyed it, but the critic within was hoping for a bit more depth into some characters. Theres a couple of plot points which made me think "would that character have done that and reacted that way" or "Why are they unquestionably believing evrything they've been told".....but it was okay. More fun as a family trip though...

There's a lot more story and character development in the book. They cut it short a bit, but the movie would have been probably 4 or 5 hours total or really packed.

I noticed a little with the CGI stuff too. A few moments in the 3D where it pulled me out cause it didn't look right. It's more nit picky stuff I think, for the most part it looks pretty good.

The family went to see Narnia today and everyone gave it the Thumbs Up! Good film (we did not see the 3D version) although there were some scenes that dragged a little. But overall it was quite enjoyable and something the whole family can share.

Eustace was a bit annoying in the beginning but less so as the story unfolded. I will agree that there wasn't a lot of character development in this film. You had to have either read the books (always a good thing) or seen the first two movies to fully 'buy into' the relationships between the characters. I did not have this problem but I could see how people new to this story might feel it a little shallow.

I love this series so if you are like me, then definitely go see the third movie installment!

From my Blog..

Just got back from watching the third Narnia film. I'm a huge fan of the books and have enjoyed the movies so I was looking forward to seeing this. I know it's had a rough road getting made and will probably be the last film made from the series but this was an excellent film. I actually liked it better then the 2nd movie Prince Caspin. Now it's been a few years since I have read the books (well actually listen since I have them on CD), but I did notice a few changes to the story and other things I wasn't quite sure if it was in the book or not.. but that didn't bother me. This was a fun fill roller coaster of a ride filled with great special effects, a simple and understandable story and some good acting. The two main kids have really grown up especially Lucy. I also enjoyed the introduction of Eustace who was exactly as I pictured him from the books. I left the theater very satisfied and wanting to re-listen to the entire series again. I do hope they make a fourth movie with Eustace and his adventures in Narnia but at least the finished the story of the four main children. Only downside to seeing this was it was only playing in 3D and cost $13.50 for matinees viewings.. and to be honest you don't have to see it in 3D. The 3D didn't enhance the film at all.. But I don't really care because I loved the movie so much it was wroth every penny. I may actually go see this again in the theater but will defiantly buy it on Blu-ray when it comes out. If you're a fan of the books series and have enjoyed the movie this is a must see.. you won't be disappointed.
