The Golden Compass

I was not impressed. With all the previews, the actors, the special effects it all just came down to it was ok. The great moments of this film reminded me of The NeverEnding Story but there weren't that many great moments. There are some movies that just flow from one part to another. This film felt very divided between home, journey, discovery, and war. The imagination in this is wonderful, and the acting was really quite good I left the movie feeling disappointed, and missing something. Children will love it, the war isn't bloody when someone dies they disappear in to a wind of what looks like star dust, and they will get to see things that make the imagination stretch. I did hear other adults complain of the same problem I had at the end though. I give this film a B.
