Second comes Will Poulter as Eustace. I personally think that he is a very talented actor, and is probably the one of the only things I like in VDT.
I really like Georgie as Lucy in LWW and PC, in VDT I feel that there was something lacking. Her performance wasn't so strong, and there was just something missing.
Oh my goodness, yes. I'm just going to ditto everything you said,
De.
In addition to what De wrote, I really liked Edmund as well. His performance in LWW was impressive, as he really strove to take on the emotions and feelings of the "black sheep" in the family. I love his dark expressive eyes, as several people from the LWW Movie Companion would agree.
In PC he was good as well. He wasn't quite as dynamic, but his comic timing was great.
Also, in LWW we mostly get to see him in his traitorous state, but not so much his redeemed state. However, in PC, he was completely changed, and I loved seeing the contrast to that. The only thing I wish is that we could have seen more of him.
As for his performance in VDT, I'm torn. There were some scenes where I loved him (such as the scenes where they first enter Narnia, and his scenes with Caspian, as well as the end) and some scenes where I felt it could've been better. However, I'm wondering if the lackluster performances were due mostly to the script. I read somewhere once that even the most talented actors can only work with what they've got, and if the script is mediocre, the acting may be mediocre as well.
Tilda Swinton was also fantastic. She took every expectation I had for the White Witch and blew me away. Originally I'd expected Jadis to have black hair, extremely pale skin, and ruby red lips. Tilda Swinton was the complete opposite of that, and yet she was perfect for the White Witch. Her portrayal was chilling. (Ha, chilling—see what I did there?
) Even now, pictures of her without the White Witch garb still remind me of Jadis. She was great.
Also. Mr. Tumnus. He also took my expectations and blew me away. He was perfect, and I adore James McAvoy's portrayal tons.
Overall, I absolutely love
everyone in all the movies to some degree.
