It was, in a word, awesome. It is a faithful adaptation of the book (one of my favorites in the Narnia series), and, fortunately, it is not padded (and, therefore, not as long) as Prince Caspian was. The child actors - particularly Will Poulter, who joins the cast as the Pevensies' cousin, Eustace Scrubb - once again do a fantastic job, and Simon Pegg steals the show as the voice of Reepicheep the mouse.
Yes, I'm a nerd. I grew up with the books, and it's great to finally see them get the big screen adaptations they deserve.
I hope you all get a chance to see Voyage of the Dawn Treader once or twice, particularly considering the fact that if this film doesn't do well at the box office, there may not be a Silver Chair movie in one or two more years. And that would be a darn shame.
I think we can all agree that it's preferrable to any more Twilight movies.

It was such a great movie! It was like being with old friends again and I agree its my favorite book to so it was gratifying to see it adapted faithfully. LOVE IT!
I agree wholeheartedly with the "old friends" sentiment; I may have to go see it two or three more times while it's still in theaters.
