The Golden Compass, Looks like a NEW Trilogy "I Hope".Review created: 05/11/08

The Golden Compass, I really liked this movie with the parallel universe theme. You will enjoy the companians each character has with out giving it away thats all I will say about that. There is also the issue of the Catholic Church that was brought up when this movie first came out which I don't see. Yes there is a power in the story that is against the people seeking other worlds and I imagine that could be compared to the Church but we must remember it is a movie and if you have Faith in something this can not change that. All in All I really enjoyed the storyline but it left you hanging in the end so this is why I think this may be a Trilogy.

The Golden Compass (2008, DVD)Decided to buy it because I enjoy fantasy & magical movies, however, this was a disappointment. It was built up as being so great and fantastic, it's no where near some of the movies before it. The animal effects were great, but the story line is weak, I lost interest after the first 20 minutes. As for it being a treat to God and religion as we have heard it to be, there is not a thing to be concerned about. This movie can never top "MOSES", the story of Moses was extraordinary in drama, special effects and love. The Golden Compass could never compare. Not worth the money or time. Forget about this one.

Good acting and special effects. Poor storytellingReview created: 04/14/08

I have not read the book so I can't comment on how close the movie follows it. However, as a movie, it is so poorly edited to be barely comprehensible. The whole movie seems like every other scene has been cut out. Characters and situations are not explained, relationships are not developed, and the plot is left with gaping holes. Fans of the book will, no doubt, be able to fill in the details. For the rest of us, I would not bother. This is a shame because the acting is good and well-cast. The special effects are equally impressive. If the movie had lasted another hour, it probably would have been terrific. Hopefully, a director's cut will be released some day that redeems this travesty.
