Dawn Treader, the movie -- I saw it

[rthstewart]

Yep.  I saw the film, tonight, at a special screening courtesy of the lovely folks at Grace Hill Media, @supertreader on Twitter.

I'm not going to say anything really here.  We've got a few weeks and I don't want to spoil anyone, but if you have questions or wish to know more, I can respond in comments.    SPOILERS IN COMMENTS!! (If there are any)

The film visually is gorgeous and I thought Will Poulter as Eustace and Ben Barnes reprising his role as Caspian were especially strong performances.  Some of the fan concern is groundless -- other concerns are very well founded and in fact were borne out in the film, in my opinion. 

I'm not a book to film purist.  Different media, different audiences, different needs.  It is beautiful and I'm sure in 3D it will be stunning.

Should be reading? That's up to you. It's a novel-length story set just after the coronation in LWW. There's a tag for Carpetbaggers on my LJ & DW.

Anyway, the point being that I'm trying to write uninfluenced by the fandom, and in some sense that includes the movies.
