44. The cinematography, which was beautiful in my opinion.

That it wasn't a musical.(even though I love musicals)
That Zac Efron wasn't Eustace.

35. The end credit's sequence featuring the illustrations from the books. That was great!

I totally agree. I loved the ending credits. I didn't want to leave the theater because they were so nice. My family didn't understand that.

47. The locations were amazing.
48. Edmund and Caspian didn't get into a fight over RD.
49. Reep was the first creature that Eustace saw and had the instant dislike he had in the book.
50. Lucy made it clear that she wanted to be beautiful like Susan not actually be Susan.
51. Lucy called on Aslan at the Dark Island and the albatross appeared (although I would have preferred that it had had the same role in the book.) *hopes that isn't too negative for this thread.*
52. Reep's poem was in there and his longing for the end of the world / Alsan's country.
53. When Caspian decided to continue when Drinian wanted to turn back, it seemed more about finding people rather than saving the world. He put the focus on Rhince's search rather than collecting the swords and defeating the darkness. (I'm not sure if I'm making any sense.) It seemed more honorable somehow (to me any way). (I'd still rather have not had that whole side plot) *ditto aside to 51)

45. the whole movie gave me tingles in my spine - I love it!

46. Eustace's beetles and books of useless information made it in the film.
47. After the first "you're most beautiful" comment, Caspian's attraction to Lilliandil wasn't overly cheesy.
48. The look of the film--this was easily the most visually stunning and well-done of the Narnia movies. Every creature was perfectly animated and the cinematography was gorgeous!
49. The faithfulness of the ending; Reep's coracle, the door to our world, and Aslan's "other name".
50. (And this is one of my favorites!) Eustace's voiceover at the end. It was the perfect, quiet goodbye to Edmund and Lucy. Simply that he and Narnia misses them.

51) They did not overprolong the slavery part.
52) They DID show the slavery part. It needs to be shown. Movie needs to denounce slavery and human trafficking.

53) Aslan finally getting the right look
54) Simon Pegg for less pompous and more endearing Reepichep
55) Ed - Caspian friendship & camaraderie with all its tensions
56) Caspian's inner conflict in the End of the World (one of Ben Barnes' finest moments in the film)
57) Great beginning and even greater ending of the movie
58) Eustace, Lucy, Ed's quiet, meaningful moment before the credits roll
59) All the humors with Eustace
60) Will and Anna's cameos
61) All references to LWW and PC

I'll post more as I think about it.

62. In this journey of the spirit, VDT managed to make the point that it is really we who are our own worst enemies without being overly preachy.

63. I was thankful that Caspian did not have a hissy fit, about leaving Reepicheep at the end of the world, as in the book.

64. I was also thankful that the film explored the reasons why Edmund and Caspian might have felt the way they did on Deathwater Island, and that the fight they had there was one in which both characters were to blame, not just one.

65. The film demonstrated why Edmund had to be in Narnia, not just Lucy and Eustace. It shows his relationship with Caspian, why they are so similar and that there is a competitive edge to their friendship. I think that Lucy is not the only one in the family who might feel she is playing second fiddle to an older sibling.

66. I liked Eustace as a dragon, and his gorgeous relationship with Reepicheep.

67. I love Ben Barnes' performance as King Caspian. He goes in search of the lords because he feels it is his duty to do so. And he goes back to Narnia because he knows it is his duty to do so. He is a better tempered Caspian than the BBC King Caspian.

68. I loved the hint that Silver Chair just may be around the corner, and the possible lead in to other tales, when we know that Lucy and Edmund stayed with Eustace for the remainder of the War.

69. The the "there I have another name" was in the film
70. Carrie Underwood's "There's A Place For Us" song at the end.
71. Edmund's still "just" personality.
72. Lucy's character's maturity but also lasting innocence.

65. The film demonstrated why Edmund had to be in Narnia, not just Lucy and Eustace. It shows his relationship with Caspian, why they are so similar and that there is a competitive edge to their friendship. I think that Lucy is not the only one in the family who might feel she is playing second fiddle to an older sibling.

Thanks for this observation Werewolf! This is not an area I had given much thought. It is good to see that Edmund still has things he can learn from Narnia.

Will Poulter's acting.
The credits.
The Beautiful shots of locations and CGI.

50. (And this is one of my favorites!) Eustace's voiceover at the end. It was the perfect, quiet goodbye to Edmund and Lucy. Simply that he and Narnia misses them.

Yes that was the best part of the movie!

(sorry lost count)

-that the dead sea part was there
-that it was not the leaked script
-that Edmund and Caspian felt bad when Eustace disapeared, and (I thought) when they found the lords
-that Coriakin's and Lilliandil's dialouge wasn't quite as cheesy as it was in thew clips
-that people aren't complaining about the 3d being horrid like in Clash of the Titan's

Reepicheep. Just Reepicheep.
Eustace. Need I say more?
Caspian, especially how he lost the corny Spanish accent. And I actually kind of liked his speech. Except for his father issues, he was much more like book Caspian in personality than he was in the previous movie.
The witch did NOT rise
The Dufflepuds. And their dialogue was cool, too.
Coriakin's map. Totally cool.
The "I have another name" line
Reepicheep throwing his sword and sailing over the wave
Reepicheep comforting Eustace after he was a dragon
No soul-sucking cave of doom. THANK GOODNESS.
Gael having a small role
The whole LOTGK thing getting cut out.
Some of the original spells getting listed with illustrations that looked just right.
The lilies at the end of the world.
The sweet water
Reepicheep's little rhyme.
No excessive Lucy/Caspian stuff.

the awesome visual effects.
the amazing acting.
the music being so so so epic.

101. The Islands themselves. The Magician's Island, The End of the World, and Narrowhaven in particular were done brilliantly. Ramandu's Island, Dark Island, and Death/Gold/Dragon Water weren't quite what I had imagined, but after considering it, I think they still did a good job (DGD Water grew on me the most).
102. David Arnold keeping (& crediting properly) so many themes from the previous two soundtracks. Seriously, I could hug him for that.
103. Eustace's introduction. The Diary! The beetles! Granted, they were alive in jars and not dead pinned on cards, but still. Brilliant.
104. Edmund's "I'm a King" line was not horrid, nor was his attempt at joining the army.
105. The film had several real, genuine, laugh-out-loud moments ("Note to self: investigate the legal ramifications of impaling relatives ).
106. The Dawn Treader. Whoever was in charge of design that gorgeous ship should be paraded about the streets. Seriously, it brought Lewis's creation to the screen perfectly.
107. The Painting on the Wall scene. The painting was marvelous and the transition to Narnia equally so.
108. The White Witch is dead, dead, DEAD. She didn't rise, wasn't real, and is NOT. COMING. BACK.
