"I'm a boy again!" I can't even remember where I heard that, but the thought of it makes me shiver and feel embarrassed, so probably saw it in the movie. Ugh! Eustace, I love you, but WE CAN SEE THAT!

You suck a lollipop, and you sing a song. Get it right, Jo!
I was going to put Lilliandil's "the fate of narnia rests on you," but then I couldn't remember if that was in the movie or just in the trailer.
That line only appears in the trailer.
I voted for "why don't you just try being yourself". That is so overused I rolled my eyes, especially coming out of Aslan's mouth. I expect Aslan to have better dialogue than that.

Yes, but this is Movie!Aslan. This is the guy that allowed dangerous smoke monsters to roam the world so Lucy could learn to deal with her body image issues.
None of those is the cheesiest line. The cheesiest line is:
Lucy: "Stop! The evil green mist is tempting you! This is just what Coriakin warned us about!"
(Or something to that effect.)
One line that really made me cringe is right after the Dark Island was defeated Lucy says "We did it...I knew we would." First of all, Georgie's delivery is horrible. Second of all, her face expression is horrible. And third of all, that line completely makes light of the film's climax and it makes the film feel even more kiddie than it is.
Other lines include "I'm a boy again!" When Eustace said that I felt like I was watching Pinochioo(forgot how to spell it).
I enjoy the scene with Corikan as a guilty pleasure. It was so funny how he would creep up to Lucy or Caspian (who were looking horrified as the Mist was described) and whisper "It can take any form...It knows your darkest nightmares...it seeks to corruput all the goodness....to steal the light from this world! Until the 7th sword is laid at Aslan's table Eeeevil has the upper hand!" (Coriakin creeps up to Lucy and whispers in her ear) "Do not fall into temptation. To defeat the darkness out there you must first defeat the darkness in yourselves."

I voted other because I think Reepicheep's "No one touches the tail. Period. Exclamation mark!" was awful and cheesy, more so than the others listed (well maybe not as much as Coriakin's speech). I cringe just thinking about this line. It'd be fine if they'd left the "Period. Exclamation mark!" off, but they didn't, and I can't really figure out why that part was necessary enough to add and why in the world Reep of all characters would say something like that.

This! IF Lucy had just said "Stop, This is just what Coriakin had warned us about" without mentioning the tempting part it would have been ok.
Also, was anyone initially concerned about the "Lucy, we could be so rich" line in that same scene? It didnt bother me the 2nd or 3rd time I watched the movie but im wondering if it was just me that first time.
your fellow Telmarine
The "we could be so rich" line bothered me in all my viewings (I've seen VDT 3 times). I couldn't imagine they scripted that to come out of Edmund's mouth. Poor Skandar having to utter such a line. But then Edmund was saying it under the influence of Goldwater....and it was supposed to be from Caspian's viewpoint in the book versus Edmund's...i.e. idea of richness.....

'The "I'm a king line"...did not like that one at all and "I'm a boy again"! too cheesy for me!
"We have nothing if not belief"
I voted for Coriakins lines. It's not so much that they were cheesy, as that they were very clichéd. Also how vague his instructions were. The only real detail he gave was that they had to collect the swords and lay them at Aslan's table. Everything else was ridiculously vague for being so important. Like the actual source of the green mist. Sounded kinda childish. I disagree that Eustace's "i'm a boy again" line is cheesy. I thought it was pretty normal for the situation. He is so happy and ecstatic that he was transformed back that he is yelling it several times. Off course it's obvious. However, when people are really excited about something they tend to state the obvious. I actually thought that it was the situation, rather then the line that i found fault with. I just thought it was weird that he suddenly was teleported right back to the ship, and nobody expressed surprise, or asked him where he had been or what had happened. They just were like "oh, here is Eustace, yeah!!" It just was to easy. Not realistic.
This! IF Lucy had just said "Stop, This is just what Coriakin had warned us about" without mentioning the tempting part it would have been ok.
I'd have preferred to have heard a good roar right at that point instead...
One line that really made me cringe is right after the Dark Island was defeated Lucy says "We did it...I knew we would." First of all, Georgie's delivery is horrible. Second of all, her face expression is horrible.
Honestly, if you try saying that line out loud, it's almost impossible to deliver it without it sounding completely fake. It's just one of those lines...I can't believe they let that into the final cut, it's just so awful!
I stand with the Lord at my side, always.
For Narnia and the North!
Be the change you want to see in the world.

I know the line would sound bad no matter what, but she still could have delivered it a little better.
I think it would have been better if she had just said "We did it."
Winter Is Coming
I voted other - Caspian's speech to the crew before facing the D.I.
"Our world - our Narnian lives" depend on us to "Be strong. Think of the lost souls we're here to save. Think of Aslan. Think of Narnia."
Something very close to that. Those words, but maybe in different order.
Caspian apparently can not give speeches. And certainly one that awful was doomed to fail no matter what his delivery.
