ChuckM 1 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I just got back from the movie, and I thought it was fantastic! It does not follow the book very closely at all, but it works so well as a movie.The Dawn Treader design was exactly as I had imagined it while reading the book, and the casting was perfect I particularly enjoyed the running banter between Eustace and Reepicheep.I wholeheartedly recommend you go see it. It's by far the most enjoyable of the three so far.Oh, yeah, and the score is great too. I personally enjoyed it outside of the film, but it really fits perfectly in the proper context.BTW, if you're confused about the thread title, see here.

Muad'Dib 1,801 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I can't believe you actually created this thread! Seriously, I haven't seen Narnia 3 yet, but I'm looking forward to it. I remember Dawn Treader was my favorite book when I was a kid. Such a great read. I need to read it again, along with The Hobbit.And the score so far seems good, I like it better than DH1. However, I can't seem to sit listen to any of both in a complete form. Or I'll jump to highlights or I'll start listening and get distracted and start listening something else. Maybe it's me, maybe I have short attention--- Oh look a blue car!!!!! However, as I've said before, I love that it sounds purely orchestral. Even my favorite score of the year, HTTYD, doesn't sound as pure as this one. I would love to hear more modern scores with a purely orchestral sound, like this one. Oh, and I almost forget... I love "Duel"! I know it's a POTC-tracking case, but I think what Arnold did with it it's much better. Listen to Badelt's theme first, and then Arnold's... Arnold's theme seems to have a sense of excitment and swashbuckling that Badelt didn't achieve. I would love to hear Arnold do his own "Cutthroat Island".

ChuckM 1 Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 Ummmmm....Interesting, but that could only make Puss-in-Boots a copy of Reepicheep, as Reepicheep's character was pretty much taken from the book as written. (Although I do think coincidence is probably a bit more likely.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I haven't seen any of these movies or read any of the books, but I keep hearing that they're full of Christian allegories, but I don't see anything about Jesus in the trailers or posters. What's it got to do with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delorean90 42 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Aslan is a Christ-figure, most explicitly in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and The Last Battle. Additionally, Lewis explores various themes of Christianity and faith in the books. However, the stories stand well on their own. I think it's simply a matter of if the style of storytelling works for you, and if those elements would be too bothersome. I recommend you give them a shot, as they are quite enjoyable. While I liked the first film initially, I've found myself a bit offput with the series. I still haven't seen the second one, and I'd like to see the new one, but there's a certain candy-like glossiness that I detect, as though they aren't really taken all that seriously. I don't think they should be handled tonally in the fashion of LOTR, but filmmaking quality closer to that level would be very desirable. I almost want them to just get this run out of the way so that a more mature approach can be taken some years down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweetmeats 2 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 This was entertaining but I thought it started a little slow. Still, it was worth a watch if you are a fan of the first two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
