It was an ok movie, It's just that after having read the book the voyage of the dawn treader It was impossible not to feel let down from this movie. There were no mystical swords to collect, or darkness to fight, They visited the islands out of order, left out some islands altogether, and combined together several more. They failed quite masterfully to gather the utter longevity of their journey or how many times they almost died on the voyage. Eustice was also a dragon for far to long, and he never was the hero of the story. Although he did become less of a sop. There are also so many wonderful things they just left out entirely like the Under sea city, the under sea people, the naming of the islands, Prince Caspians Tantrum at not being able to go to Aslans country, Eustice trying to kill the Sea Serpent with a sword(and failing miserably), The real way the defeated the sea serpent by tricking it in a fantastic way, and more. I honestly felt that If I had not read the books I would have been completely lost in several of the scenes. For instance the scene where reepicheep catches Eustace stealing an orange, was really him stealing water, during water rationing.

I understand that books and movies frequently differ in some ways. This however was a totally different plot (not minor details, but driving plot points) and invented characters, aside from being boring. The only reason I'm giving 2 stars is because the actor who portrayed Eustace did an excellent job as that character. Save yourself the time. If you want a well-constructed, sea-faring epic with magic, a dragon, redemption, a sassy talking mouse, and adventure...read the book.

Coming off seeing the first two movies I thought this one was definitely the worst. The story line was really bad considering the stories from the last 2 movies this movie was disappointing from the beginning. It didn't really make much sense to me even though I was still Narnia ish definitely not a 3 star movie
