Interesting conversations here. I loved the first movie and really enjoyed the second one as well. I’m no film aficionado, but I’m not sure why so many people hated the second movie. Oh well. Dawn Treader is my favorite in the book series as well and I am looking forward to seeing it in the theater.
I wouldn't say I 'hated' Caspian. It's simply one of my least favorite of the books, and so I merely enjoyed the film less than I have the other two that have been made so far.
I'm really hoping that Magician's Nephew makes it to the big screen. I think it will translate wonderfully.
Dawn Treader is my daughter’s favorite book of the series also. She was disappointed by this film. She said that because it wasn’t done by Disney, the animation was not as well done as it could have been. She thought it was too short in length. She also didn’t like the boy actor they chose as Eustis. She liked that Walden Media kept the same four actors as the previous movies. She also thought the sword fight between Edmond and Caspian was well done.
