I cannot wait to see it. Really hope it'll do well so we can get to see the following books, all the way to the Last Battle. Very curious what they'll do with The Horse and His Boy (if they get to that book).

Pretty much betting “Horse and his boy” will not make it to the screen.
The “bad guys” in that were obviously Arab/Persian/Muslims.
Can’t have that in a PC world.

They’ll just turn the Calormen into little green aliens or *gasp* European Christians. :)

I’ve enjoyed the Narnia films so far. Plan to see this one as soon as I can.

I bought the OST because I am a fan of Dave Arnold. It is good, some of his best work yet.

I saw the midnight premere last night.
started off slow, but got really good.
Woudn’t it be wonderful if they had the courage to do “A Horse and his Boy”?

Or Indian (The subcontinent not North America).
Do not expect to see Silver Chair either.

Nazis. They’ll make them Nazis. That’s what they always do.

I’d kinda wish they’d do Lewis’ “Space Trilogy.”
Out of the Silent Planet, Paralandera, and That Hideous Strength.
They’d probably have to come off as more “independent” type films. They couldn’t be blockbusters, but I think they could be done really well.

Excellent review. I’m looking forward to seeing the movie. But I’d like to get some of the family involved.

I loved Perelandra. That Hideous Strength was totally messed up; naked guys worshipping reanimated corpse heads! Freaky. I did read all the Narnia books; I don’t remember them much anymore, but I do know that Dawn Treader was my favorite.

“.S. Lewis always meant for Dawn Treader to reflect a Christian’s walk in this fallen world of ours, and the temptations faced by the film’s protagonists seem to reflect the Seven Deadly Sins outlined by Pope Gregory in 590?extravagance, gluttony, greed, discouragement, wrath, envy and pride.”
Don’t tell Liam Neeson that...

The giants eat people.
Dwarfs are greedy.
Silver Chair is not really a “children's” story by today's standards. Would probably be “R” if they stick close to the book.

Great message.

Sadly, I'll have to see this one alone, as my son is now a teenager and, if interested, will be seeing it with friends.
I remember when he first saw the preview for the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe in a theater, it caught his attention. And when the title hit the screen, he asked, "isn't that the book you've been reading?" Yup. I was reading it because the movie was coming out. (And, in truth, I needed a placeholder until the next Harry Potter book came out, but that's another thread.)
