My overall opinion: 

3/24/11 -- I LOVE this movie! There is one scene that I don't watch: black magic stuff. Yuck. But other than that (and a little romance, that I don't really like either), it's a great movie! I highly recommend it! I should mention that it strays from the book quite definitely, but the book was never a favorite of mine, so. <3 it so much! 

11/20/12 -- Still one of my favorite movies! Other than the black magic scene, which I still abhor. The battles are especially good, and the soundtrack? Amazing. Unbelievable. Heart-stopping. I love it! I also love Peter in this one, at least, most of the time. He is occasionally a brat (yes, I just said that) but overall -- great. Caspian and Susan's romance? No. Not right. I'm becoming more accustomed to it, but I still wish they hadn't included it. Great movie though!

My overall opinion:  

12/16/10 -- A great movie, one of my favorites. I recommend it to anyone! 

11/20/12 -- What an amazing movie. It's family friendly and follows the book closely, getting all the best details (IMHO). It always amazes me when I come back to watch this how young the kids all are! I've grown used to them in PC and VDT. The story is exciting and riveting (AND family friendly -- though younger kids might be a bit scared). Lucy especially is perfect. I still highly recommend it!

Spotlight: Susan

Susan (Chronicles of Narnia)

Played by Anna Popplewell.

I love that picture, even thought Susan has never been one of my favorite characters. She had a primary part in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and in Prince Caspian, but only an appearance in Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
