I love quoting it!<br /><br />I thought that <i>Dawn Treader</i> didn't flow very well, also I thought that they added to many unnecessary things. Like the whole 'Green Mist' and 'Seven Swords'. I don't think they needed it. Also they <i>REALLY</i> down played the spiritual truths in the story <i>BIG TIME</i>. And <i>that</i> was what bothered me the most. <br /><br />Whereas with <i>Prince Caspian</i>, though they made character and plot changes that I found annoying, the same spiritual truths that are in the book, ring true in the movie.<br /><br />And I believe <i>that</i> is because of the change in directors. Andrew Adamson directed and co-wrote the first two movies, and Micheal Apted directed <i>Dawn Treader</i> with a different writing team.

Oh. my. word. Like at least every other line is quotable; it is so clever and funny! <br /><br />I know a lot of people think Dawn Treader it the worst of the three, but I like it well-enough. I think I thought Prince Caspian was SO awful (why did they make Peter so awful?!) plus I just like the basics plot of DT better than PT. The Dawn Treader is my favorite book, but it just might not translate to a very interesting movie for most people. My sister-in-law thinks that the whole series doesn't translate well, but I think it just depends on what you expect from a movie. <br />I may need to put Anna and the King on my to be watched list. I just noticed that the King is Captain Sao Feng from Pirates of the Caribbean: At the World's End).Livia Rachellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755623391278276925noreply@blogger.com
