I didn't understand one thing, why did Peter's sword turn blue when all the seven swords are lain at Aslan's Table? That was kinda odd .

Maybe it was explained in the other "Book That CS Lewis Didn't Write". You know, the one Father Christmas comes back and hands out Seven Swords which have some sort of BlueTooth interactivity with Peter's Sword, AKA "The One Sword To Rule Them All" to enable it's Dark Island destroying abilities.

It was, fine. The bad part about it is that they were focused on the swords than the lords, but the good part about it is that they still managed to live up the stories of each Lords.

I voted the movie was ruined because of it. Maybe that is a little melodramatic, but I did feel that if that weren't in the movie I could have enoyed the movie much better.

I named my review "Narnia? Or the land of the living dead?" Because one of my favorite movies is this cheesy old horror movie called "the night of the living dead," where dead people wake up and attack, walking slowly with their arms out in front of them. It's a funny movie because at the time it was made, it was supposed to be scary, but now the only reason anyone would watch it is to laugh...it's hilarious, cheesy, and silly.

I drew this comparison because I just couldn't take this movie seriously and it became a joke to me. I was laughing at the "creepy green mist," the whole time. I wasn't sure whether this mist was supposed to be scary, mysterious, or what. It didn't really serve a purpose. Unless the point of the green mist WAS to be cheesy and make the film a joke, I just can't get my head around the fact that somehow the filmmakers thought this would be a good idea.

The fact that they decided to include it is just embarrassing. Zombies do a better job of making a movie interesting.

I voted that it wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either. The first time I finally found out about the whole plot, all I could say was "WHAAAT?!" Now that I've seen the movie put together it, I will say that it's a very intruging storyline if you think about it and haven't read the books. But the point is that I have read the book, and the new addition is interesting ( I liked it ok, in fact... ), I feel like this is a big wedge between a good adaption and a bad adaption. I still love the movie, don't doubt me on that, but this plot really leaves me annoyed, confused, and especially disappointed that the movie makers didn't try to make a sucessful story by using the main purpose for the voyage in the book.

What confuses me the most is that IF they try to attach this to SC's plot, what will happen to the adaption there? I hope these guys realize that because of VDT, they shouldn't have to be so heavy on changes to what is important in SC. May we be lucky that this is the last time we see such shocking changes (except if they work with the original plot like PC's changes did).

Maybe it was explained in the other "Book That CS Lewis Didn't Write". You know, the one Father Christmas comes back and hands out Seven Swords which have some sort of BlueTooth interactivity with Peter's Sword, AKA "The One Sword To Rule Them All" to enable it's Dark Island destroying abilities.

I though it was a really bad addition. It was never explained well enough, and the Dark Island wasn't really that scary. And the fact that all the people weren't really dead just made it not really seem that threatening. It reminded me of a tame version of the Dark Thing from A Wrinkle in Time. And that green mist that kept showing up everywhere was really annoying.
The seven swords plot was just kind of lame. When they first see Rhoop, Edmund says "Oh, the sword!" Its the sword they care about, not the person holding it. And why did Edmund's sword glow blue? Were there Orcs on the Dark Island? I didn't really like the glowing bolt of blue light that shot up from the swords. (I was watching this with my mom and sister, and my mom said the blue light reminded her of the light that comes out of the Ark in Raiders of the Lost Ark. And come to think of it, it did sort of remind me of that too.)

^You're right Lady Haleth, none of it made any sense.

I left the theater with this expression:

having seen it a second time, I still think it's awesome! I like it so much!
*ducks to avoid rotten tomatoes*

LOL...I won't throw rotten tomatoes at you but I am curious to hear why you like it so much.

I agree^ Why were you fond of it somehow? Well, mostly they didn't like that plot.

The green mist is kind of..... confusing to me. Did they use the green mist to connect it somehow with SC?

I liked the green mist plot because it mad eit more interesting. Besides, it gave Eustace good scenes as well as Edmund and even Lucy.

MinotaurforAslan and sandy: well, I don't truly know why.....I just loved it when I first saw it.
I have now seen the movie 3 times and I can't help but like the way they put the Green Mist/seven swords in the movie! it's like I have said before about liking the changes: I love the books, but I also love the movies. I see the books and movies as the same and different at the same time and I enjoy both the books and the movies for what they are!
does that answer your question?

Haha. Yes it does. You really are very optimistic about the green mist and other additions huh? I just find it interesting and slight of whaaat?!?

I would have liked the addition better IF it had made more sense! When the green mist first showed up, I almost laughed. The idea of "evil" mist (that looked like a CG version of the smog that haunts my college) that randomly appeared to either swallow people or tempt them, just seemed so laughable! I mean, if it came to blind them or make them choke to death, that would make sense! But somehow I couldn't quite fathom the idea of evil mist that was out to take over the world. THEN when Coriakin said that it was the evil BEHIND the mist, I started to breath easier and think that it made sense. Unfortunately, what that evil was that was controlling the mist, was never explained. So I was left to continue thinking that it was the green mist that they were trying to defeat. (Its too bad that I can't collect 7 swords and lay them at a table somewhere and make the evil smog at my college disappear!)
I was even further confused by the people who were "sacrificed" to the mist but were perfectly fine in the end. Also, were the Lone Islands taken over completely by slave traders and were they selling off ALL the citizens of Narrowhaven? If so, to whom were they selling them? And how did the slave traders get into cahoots with the evil mist?
When the green mist started showing up all over the place and making that strange humming/whispering noise, I was thoroughly annoyed. It ruined a lot of perfectly good scenes. Well, maybe "ruined" is too strong a verb. But it definitely detracted from the solemnity or intensity of the scenes! It made them look rather corny. (Like Eustace fighting it when he was trying to get the seventh sword laid on the table to stop the others from rattling to pieces!)
One final question. Does anyone know why Rhindon started glowing blue when the magic was released?
The one understanding I came away with after watching the whole seven swords/evil green mist plot was; green is bad, blue is good.
