I gave this movie an 8.
I have been waiting for the next installment in the Narnia series for quite a while and I was very excited to see it. These books (and movies) are very close to my heart and I thought the first two were very successful.
I wondered how the new studio would handle the series, but it seems like they did a fairly good job at keeping most things the same. Some stylistic differences here and there. A lot of the storyline was changed but hardly any of it was ignored completely. I was okay with the changes that were made.
The new character Eustace played his role well. I liked the boy they chose for Eustace but they are going to have to do a good job on the next movie in order for me to like him as much as a main character should be liked.
I was mad at the three people in front of me in the theater because they were mocking the touching scene at the end. Like I said, these stories are very close to my heart and I wish they hadn't been there but nobody could ruin it for me. There was too much positive and wistful emotion colliding all at once.
At first it was sad because I knew that this was the last time Edmund and Lucy would be able to visit Narnia. This also brought to a close the first three movies, since none of the original characters would continue from now on. Reep and Eustice were able to bond in the movie and though I was happy for Reep to visit Aslan's Country, Eustice started crying and it made it one of those bittersweet moments for me. Aslan was also there during this scene which just brought power and majesty to it. Overall I felt like they did very well and I will definitely be purchasing the dvd when it comes out.
