What was your first impression of the Walden films?

Did you like the Walden films when you first saw them?  The first one, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, was shown in 2005 during the Christmas holiday season. I watched it in a movie theater, which was the only way one could see it before the DVD was released.  I thought it was quite a good film even though there were some deviations from the book (e.g., the wolves chasing the Pevensies on to the ice), but not too many to ruin the story.  Prince Caspian kind of disappointed me with an adult playing the role of a young teenager and with its extended battle scenes that were not in the book. But I got to like it better years later when rewatching it, realizing that it had more of the book in it than I had previously thought. Voyage of the Dawn Treader I liked somewhat because it had beautiful special effects, and I thought the story was a bit closer to the book than Prince Caspian.  That film was criticized too much, although it could have been much improved. I have to admit that I really enjoyed going to the theater and watching all three of the films. And I ended up buying all three of them on Blu-ray and have rewatched them quite often.  I liked them better than most of today’s films and recommend them to all Narnia enthusiasts. You can like something that isn’t perfect even if it is just for entertainment, although the original books will offer you so much more.  🙂
