The Tide Gets Rough For Narnia
By tomparfitt17 (15 reviews) from Midsomer Norton , 15 Mar 2011[Highly rated reviewer]
A fantastic film, in which I believe is the best out of the trilogy. What ever age, you will want to be there.
Lucy (Henley) and Edmund Pevensie (Keynes) return to Narnia with their cousin Eustace (Poulter) where they meet up with Prince Caspian (Barnes) for a trip across the sea aboard the royal ship The Dawn Treader. Along the way they encounter dragons, dwarves, merfolk, and a band of lost warriors before reaching the edge of the world.
Both Henley and Keynes have both grown up so much since Narnia 2 and have come out of their shells. Both give a positive feel to the movie and their performance is great in all ways. Poulter is a new actor on the block and plays a really funny role. This film has given Poulter a real stepping stone for the future. All of the young actors are extremely good British actors, in which I’m sure will have huge careers.
Two criticisms are that I don’t see why Ben Barnes has gone from having a Spanish accent in Narnia 2 to having a British accent in this one. It doesn’t make sense. I also believe that the ending of the film seemed to be over rather quick but was also quite predictable.
The film is a great family film as it has great animations and also a great soundtrack with Joe McElderry, but it is defiantly a film that all age groups will enjoy.- Was this review helpful to you?

True travesty
By a customer , 31 Jul 2012An absolute horrendous hijacking of this classic story. The only resemblance it plays to Lewis' work are the title and the names of the characters. Manages to ruin not only the overall story but pretty much every minor detail as well. Huge disappointment.- Was this review helpful to you?

a passable movie adaptation
By cuyocksol (8 reviews) from London , 02 May 2012[Highly rated reviewer]
I think this series of books is very good.
These films in general, of which this is the 3rd, might appeal to people who don't like reading. The stories are more-or-less the same as in the books.
A couple of specific quibbles with this particular film. The voice of Aslan (which is Liam Neesson, and may well be the same in previous 2 films, don't remember) does not in my opinion (or my wife's) suit the stature of the character. Aslan should have a deeper, more vibrant voice. Liam's is somewhat ineffectual, and also seems like he's trying to put on some sort of vague accent (British??).
And while most of this film is very fast-paced (as with most novels condensed into a single film, there's a lot to pack in), there is a very over-long and sentimental scene at the end which could be called 'various people standing crying on a beach' which could have mercifully been cut to a few seconds.
These points aside, this is a pretty enjoyable film. But if you are one of those lucky individuals who still has an attention span sufficient to read a book, please do so instead, and you'll enjoy the tale immeasurably more.
By the way, I think these Narnia stories could be adapted much better for screen by way of feature-length animations. Not manga/Ghibli style, but something a bit more abstract or even (dare I say it) arty... The problem with these live action adaptations is that they're too explicit, leaving nothing to the imagination and reducing everything to the level of 'that which can be easily and unambiguously portrayed'.- Was this review helpful to you?
