This movie sucks because Peter and Susan is not in it.I really hate my life now and I have no will to live anymore. I now have suicidal thoughts and I now cut myself and cry myself to sleep. I don't recommend this movie but the first and second is really good and if you haven't seen them yet then i don't know why you are on this page. If you want mental illness you should watch this movie.

Watching this as only a movie, it's fine. It's never boring, there are always happening something. But if you watch it the series with the other two movies, the quality of it would fade instantly. I cannot count this movie as one of the same series as the other Narnia movies, it hasn't got the same feeling. So in comparison with them, it looses. Some of the acting is good, but I feel as if the actors doesn't get the opportunity to use their abilities to the fullest. The material they've been given to work with doesn't use their full potential, and because of that they all seem to be a little shallow. Positives: Two gorgeous looking kings (Skandar Keynes as Edmund Pevensie and Ben Barnes as Caspian) are a great plus, and probably one of the main reasons I can still watch this movie.Beautiful environments.Speed; it doesn't bore you. Those small elements which they bring back from previous films. They bring back a small glimpse of the magic which the first ones held.Negatives: Far away from the book's plot.The creatures of Narnia aren't as well made as in previous films.Will Poulter as Eustace. New composer, I miss Harry Gregson-Williams.

I didn't much care for the last Narnia movie, since Peter and Susan were to leave Narnia for good and for their younger siblings to 'learn' more about themselves.Honestly when I was a kid, I loved these movies, and now as I've become more in tune with my opinion I notice LOADS of flaws.One; The camera is constantly moving, which DOES give for a more action, moving and free movie. But compared to the first movie, this in comparison looks like a B class movie, there's careless mistakes, like the moving of the camera when the scene calls for a 'calm' or 'still' shot. Seriously, it looks like something that a teenager would make in the sense they don't know about anything about filming.Two; The acting was okay, it seemed forced almost in the beginning. I didn't quite believe the 'Oh i'm not pretty' cliché, fair enough, Susan is a lot prettier than Lucy, and the 'hair behind the ear' put me off Lucy all together. But seriously? Lucy's character had always been brave, naive and strong but all that had been stripped away the last movie because it had been her brothers and sister protecting her, what is she doing now? all we have is the silly teenage predicament of 'am I beautiful'.three; the graphics, and the special effects wasn't that good either. I mean if anybody watches this movie and notices the flaws in the ship, the green magic, and other 'scenic' shots. it does seem a bit fake.Further more, i'd watch this with my kids someday if they really really really liked the first movie and second movie, and it was something to shut them up so.

I decided to watch Voyage Of The Dawn Treader because I've seen the BBC adaptation of The Silver Chair and I honest to god wanted to fill in the blanks. In all honesty though, this is the second best in the series, I say this because this didn't have a relationship that felt tacked on (which I've heard it was!) but there are still a few things that I didn't like.So Edmund and Lucy are now the protagonists and Edmund tries signing up to World War 2? Why? Well, it's because he sees himself as a King and actually fighting wars means he should do the same for England as well as Narnia, Lucy now envy's Susan's beauty because of a story arc that you can see coming a mile away and happens just the same way. They also have a cousin, he starts out extremely annoying and through one thing leading to another, they end up in Narnia and like always, it's usually in the strangest way possible. What happens then is they meet Caspian after a couple of Narnian years since the last movie and they end up on a Voyage through which they find Green mist swallowing up people at sea like The Fog and they have to save Narnia again.Okay, I'll go down what I didn't like - I knew from the start that Narnia was going to parallel Christianity. I mean if you think about it, Aslan represents Jesus and magic users seem to be for the most part villains. But it's subtle in these movies. The problem is that there's a single monologue that says that Aslan has another name and the entire reason for them arriving three times is to know him a little in Narnia and know him better by his other name. This is about as unsubtle as you can get. It literally said it was a parallel to Jesus like the entire series was a way to convert others to Christianity. I think even when I was a Christian I would have hated this monologue and this is the second time I've seen it uttered (the first being in The Silver Chair adaptation), It just seems like if they wanted to parallel Christianity can they please not beat me over the head with the message in the hopes that somehow I buy it? Oh and by the way, I would say this even if it was a parallel to being an atheist or any other religion, I am not just signalling out Christians.That and the CGI work for the most part looked awful at times. The best effect is the ones with magic but when it's meant to look real like when they said that their worst fear is and then a Sea Serpent materializes, it looked awful. I also didn't really like the effect of Dragon-Eustace either but Reepercheep looked okay.So I've played the bad guy on this movie, now onto what I liked. Well, the actors for the most part do pretty good jobs, there are certain scenes like Reepercheep visiting Aslan's country were well executed and for that matter I really liked Eustace's relationship with him. I mean yes, it could be expanded upon more but it does play out naturally as well as Eustace's story arc, probably the only one in the entire movie that does actually work for me.Like always though the cinematography is excellent. I thought the Dawn Treader ship is actually pretty well designed and I do like the animatronics in this movie like the Minotaur oh and while I did bash the CG work in this movie I do really like the effect of the painting coming to life and flooding them into Narnia. So while this is better then Prince Caspian, I still feel that there are a few things that need improvement.
