Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

Voyage of the Dawn Treader (the movie)

Unless I'm mistaken, no one has made a thread about this, so I thought I'd go ahead. *clears throat importantly* If you are a Narnia fan, like myself, you are in for a big disappointment. They totally twisted the plot of finding the seven lords to uniting the seven swords of the seven lords and banishing "the mist", a.k.a. as superstitious green cloud that tempts you and makes people disappear. The diaglogue was quite bland too. They added in two completely unnecessary characters, a little girl and her father, who's mother/wife had been devoured by the mist and were hoping to find her. Though in the book Lucy never actually utters the spell that will make one Beautiful Beyond the Lot of Mortals, she does (of course!) in the movie and becomes Susan for a few minutes. Afterwards Aslan appears and tells her that if she were Susan, she never would have discovered Narnia. Excuse me?! While that may be an acceptable message, the real message is to be happy with what you are given!

Eustace was a dragon for about half the movie and at the end, he started *crying.* Ack. I started sinking lower and lower into my seat and wanted to crawl down on the floor and hide. Speaking of Eustace, one of the only parts I liked was where Reepicheep befriended Eustace while he was a dragon. They did a good job with that. Oh, good news!!! Prince Caspian laid off the fake Spanish accent!! I don't see why he did it in the first place, 'cause English accents are so lovely!

So overall, I give it a 3. Sorry about my disorderly paragraph with run-on sentences and rants and abrupt changes of subject. <-----run-on sentence.
