I thought Crystal Skull was a little below Last Crusade. Karen Allen's appearance is what makes it worthwhile. As well as some good lines and derring do but it just lacked something.

I was so worried about Caspian but when I saw it and they had done right by my beloved Reepicheep I was happy. I only got him for two books so I was going to be thoroughly put out if he was sidelined.

The book Caspian is told largely in flashback so it's not as engaging as some of the others for many people. I can't wait for Dawntreader!

Now, DAWNTREADER I remember much better (and I recall being quite moved by it).

In fact, I recall being tickled to death by the way it opened (isn't that the one that talks about Eustace's name, and how he almost deserved it?). Plus, again, you have a not very promising character (rather like Edmund through most of the first book) who's redeemed in the end, with more than a little help from Aslan and friends.

That is indeed the opening of Dawntreader.

I really liked the way they portrayed Edmund in the movie. Very much as someone who had learned the lesson. The subtitle could very well be Peter's an idiot, which was pretty much the way it was in the book as well. Edmund running the sword through the White Witch was sheer perfection, been there, done that, not going back.

Yes! I loved seeing Edmund shine, and being pretty darn funny while he was at it ("I know -- you had it sorted!").
