What was your first impression of the Walden films?

I was sort of "heigh ho, LWW again" when the Walden film was first released, when there had already been two goes at filming this book for television. Compared to the BBC television offering for Prince Caspian, still sharing a recording mostly taken up with VDT, I was pleasantly surprised by Prince Caspian. But despite its length as a film, again there was no Romp through Narnia, which I suppose must have been too difficult for the filmmakers.  

@bluestarrr Prince Caspian felt like it was just one drawn-out battle

Yes, it did seem one drawn-out battle, which involved Queen Susan too much, when Lewis, himself, had depicted both she & Lucy to be part of a Romp round Narnia whilst the boys were fighting first the werewolf & the hag, then the single combat with King Miraz with the battle of Beruna following. 

As @narnian78 pointed out, the green mist was too overdone and made a sequel Silver Chair less likely in my opinion. Did anyone else find that sword collecting to do with the Missing Lords also missing the point of finding what happened to those Lords?
