The more I watched it... The more I hated it... Somehow this feelin'... Just grows and grows..." Okay first off you know how when you watch a old British drama and you can tell it has been stage filmed? Well there have been good stage filmed productions but I happen to despise that photography.
So it was not a good sign when it started out with our fat, acting impaired, line stuttering, I mean daring trio, where shown standing in front of the painting of the dawn treaded waving their arms about and saying, "Oh it's pulling us in! It's pulling us in!" Forget about the explanatory bit before this scene, which is in the book of course. No we'll just go right to the BCC stage pool, I mean open sea, where the children splutter and yell before Caspian and his men pull them in.
There is one pearl among the swine of crappie television here. Eustace is as Annoying in the show as he was in the books. But then again, being annoying isn't so hard is it? :D
Now I know that money does not always make a good film. A film might have millions of dollars behind it but my behind could have directed a better film. But you think the BCC could have scrapped together a few more coppers or given Oliver a few less bowls of soup and made Reepeecheep and the dragon a bit more work. A bit more meaning, given the dragon realistic proportions and gotten the Muppet guys to do Reepeecheep instead of stuffing the town midget into a mouse suit. }:
I couldn't stand to watch any farther then when Caspian's men come down in plastic armor to battle Eustace. But it would have been fun to see Aslan rip Eustace out of the dragon flesh. :D
