Where did these facts come from? Did you hear it from a friend? See a chart? Saw it on a website?

Heard it from my pastor, he is a PHD and wrote one of his papers on C.S. Lewis. Also the Internet helps.

Cool. I never knew that...

Which is your favourite Narnia movie. Discuss.

The first one was pretty awesome. Then they went down from there.

So you did! Kudos, Kaida. The Dawn Treader didn't have all that impressive sets and such, perhaps, but it was still pretty spectacular. As for Georgie Henley, I adore every second of her acting. I'm not really all that tasted in acting, but Georgie always blows me away with her grace, charm, occasional slight goofiness, and... well, that she IS, practically just IS Lucy. And, yes, Will Poulter, amazed, especially considering he was a first-timer.

WOW some one has a crush on Lucy jk

Cool! Who is it? What... me? Geez, no. I'm a little out of Georgie's age-range. Although one person I know who's just a little bit older than her... um, never mind.

To fully explain what I think of the movies, I will quote a post that I made on CC:

Anyone who has read Prince Caspian would know what a horrific job they did with that movie. Ugh.

So I guess my fav is the first one.

I agree. They made Prince Caspian really snotty, and they never attacked the castle (which ended up being a total failure in the movie, anyway) I love how they stuck to the book on the first one, adding only what was needed to explain the movie or make it a bit funnier.

I haven't watched the movie in forever, because I hated it, but in the books, Prince Caspian lets King Peter take over, because he was the high king. I really don't think them fighting was all that necessary to the movie! In the books, Prince Caspian shows respect to Peter, instead of going "I'm in charge cause I started this army and you're so annoying and I'm gonna storm off now and almost bring the white witch back to life!" All while at the same time, acting all lovey about Susan. (another part that I didn't like)

I likes the first one the best, with all the animals and forest and stuff. It show the true Narnia.

I definitely like the Lion the witch and the wardrobe....hmm but i didn't care for Prince Caspian either is was just too confusing and not very exciting.

[quote="T.S. (myself)"]You're right about the quality of the movies. The first two were really good, and you could tell a lot had been put into them.

My favorite was The Lion, the Witch, and The Wardrobe. I would give it a B+, Prince Caspian a C+, and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader a C. I felt like the on the last two they just took a summary of the book, kept the characters and location, and then rewrote an entire new script with some faint knowledge of what the book was like.

Going a little deeper, I felt like the writers of TLTWTW enhanced the script, to better fit what C.S. Lewis wrote. He left a lot of room for the imagination. He described some things so wonderfully, but left other relatively untouched. So when they went to make the book into a movie, they had to expand on the tree spirits, the witch's army, and the scene of the battle. They did quite well with this, but I still think the books are incomparably better. If they ever make a movie out of the Last Battle, I will utterly refuse to see it. Maybe if I have time, I will watch it on my deathbed so I won't have to deal with any long term effects of the movie.

So, I like the first movie best. And, since we are mentioning crushes, both Peter and Prince Caspian are cute.

To Godssirl6053: If we are talking about the Disney version, you're right! Caspian and Peter are cute.

My favorite character (next to Aslan and Reep) is Rhindon, and I thought they did awesome with him

Actually Georgie turned 17 on July 9th. Didnt you say you were 17?

My fav is definitively the first one! My next would be The Dawn Treader ( love the book for that one!). Has anyone seen all the movies in theater???? I only saw Prince Caspian and The Dawn Treader -_-...

I have only seen The L, W, & W, (which I saw several years ago) and Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I preferred Dawn Treader, and I'm looking forward to watching The Silver Chair, and, particularly, (since I actually read the book for once) The Magician's Nephew when they come out.

I can't wait for the Magicians Nephew because it was by far the best book

really??? that one's my least favorite! I always thought The Magicians Nephew was kinda boring -_-... But that's just my personal opinion. Now the Silver Chair on the other hand, i love that book!
