I was touched and it was memorable. The ending scene had a great impact together with the song in the rolling of credits.

okay, the first time I saw VotDT, I cried at that bit even harder than I normally would have because:
when Lucy hugs Caspian, it looks like such a brother/sister moment and it made me think of when I hugged my brother for the last time before he went on his honey moon after his wedding.
and the second time I saw VotDT, I cried when Reepicheep goes over the wave because:
Reepicheep going to Aslan's Country is a symbol of someone dying and going to Heaven and when Lucy hugs Reepicheep before he goes over the wave, it made me think of the last time I saw a lady whom I was really close to and the last time I hugged her before she died.
this movie is amazing! :D

I thought the end was really memorable :) I thought it was really sweet, a little fast yes but the whole movie was, I liked once they were back and they are all quiet at the end I loved it!

I thought it was so sad! Although I didn't cry I was very close! In this movie we get to know the characters so much more and at the end it felt as though we were saying good-bye to them also. But I loved how Aslan said that he is in our world but that he goes by a different name. This was probably one of the most touching endings to a movie I have ever seen.

I actually teared up a little bit at the end with Eustace's voice over saying that all Narnian's would miss them until the end of time. The entire bit at the world's end until Lucy closes the door was the best part of the film.

The scene was beautiful--I thought it would make me cry. It doesn't take much to make me cry at a movie. There are commercials that can get me all choked up. I thought crying at this movie was going to be a given. And it was sad. But the scene went by so fast that I didn't have time to cry or get emotionally into the scene. I thought Caspian's dialog was kind of awkward.

Eustace's voice over in the end was perfect. That he said he would miss his cousins "with all his heart" and his tone of voice showed his change more than anything. I also liked him putting the painting back so carefully.

I'm going to have to go with others who said more development of characters and relationships would have given a more emotional depth to the final scene.

I loved the ending...especially the bonding of Eustace and Reepicheep. When he cried seeing him leave was very memorable. His hard exterior turned into a soft heart....so heart felt and yes my eyes did water just a little! :(

It was memorable and it was a bit too short to meaning anything. But it was also a very beautifully shot and acted ending and I would have cried had they developed all of the characters' stories to justify such a lovely beautiful ending as that. It was as if all the emotion was encapsulated in just the ending instead of spread out evenly over the whole movie. I compare it to how I felt at the end of the LWW. At the end of LWW I felt the characters had really grown during an emotional journey and the ending was justifiably climactic and really delightfully enjoyable and even very poignant. At the end of VDT I didn't feel like the emotional journey had been developed well at all. The ending of PC I rate as in between LWW and VDT as endings for the films go.

I haven't cried. Yet.

I usually keep quite a handle on my emotions. So I don't cry, becuase I WON'T. But as soon as I get that DVD and sit down by myself, you better believe I'll be bawling. Eustace is brilliant in this scene, but the one who really gets me is Lucy. Her tears, her tone of voice, and he movements as she clings to Aslan, begs to see him again, etc. made me really want to cry at the theater.

Brilliant scene. The best in the film, without a doubt. I didn't really mind the Caspian stuff, although the little thing about anyone having the option of going into Narnia was kind of wierd. I suppose since they all have 'noble hearts' and have withstood temptation, Aslan lets them in...

Funny; I didn't really notice Lucy! I wasn't sad that they (Lucy and Edmund) had to leave! I think this odd event occurred because, to me, Eustace was the show. He'll be back. :D

Is something wrong with me? I'm one of the biggest crybabies I know, but didn't cry AT ALL. *Hides under bed* I didn't even feel moved by the ending. I don't deserve to be a Narnia fan!!

But seriously, I think it wasn't developed enough.

Idk I don't think the ending was rushed really .. I loved the acting in this scene Lucy was great and I'm not sure but I think i did see some tears in edmunds eyes which made me cry harder. The bit at the very end when they are in the bedroom again and eustace was speaking was SO GREAT I had stopped crying a bit and then I started up again with the line about how he would miss his cousins and all narnians would till the end of time .. so good

I put other, because honestly, I found it a lot more emotional when I saw the clip before I saw the movie. Either I wasted all my emotion on the spoiler, or (strangely enough) it worked better within the book context than the movie context.

Oh, I cried. My cousin and I were both crying at the end. What really got me was Eustace's goodbyes to Reepicheep. To me it was a beautiful, emotional end to a beautiful relationship. After that, the tears just kept coming. I'll definitely have to see it again though and see if the same things make me cry or if it's different. Perhaps the reason I cried at their goodbye is because Eustace's and Reep's relationship was so well thought out and so beautifully portrayed.

It made me cry, in a good way. :) First off, I have to say that my favorite scene was the goodbye between Caspian and Edmund (who looked like he was about to cry), all of the goodbyes were so touching. All of the actors were amazing.

Watching it was very personal for me because, I've had to say a goodbye like the one they did, to my best friend. My dad went to heaven four months ago. Watching it, I was struck by the desire to go home, and not to my earthly one. At that moment I wanted to go so bad, like Reepicheep. I wanted to reunite with my dad. I wanted to slip through the waves to Aslan's Country, and run into his arms. And it suddenly hit me, that dad was waiting for me, that it wasn't goodbye. And then the song "A Place For Us" played, a feeling of reassurance filled me. I laughed and cried most of the way home. I wasn't expecting that. :) I'm still brokenhearted, but I'm comforted knowing that there's a place for it, that it will be healed one day.

I can't say enough, how beautiful this movie is. I applaud the makers and the actors!
