The Golden Compass
The Golden Compass begins with an orphan girl playing a game with her friends and develops into her going on an exploration for her friends who turn up missing later in the film. I didn't like the ending to this movie, because they left it like there would be a sequel. Many scenes in this movie reminded me of Narnia only with a polar bear as the king instead of a lion. I just wasn't really impressed with the movie at all. It really didn't capture the attention of the little one either.

Great Price. Default language was Thai but easy to select english 5.1. Worked fine on a US DVD coded player. Saved $10 over Circuit City's "Low Price", but came in mailer without case and outer/inner jacket/folder. Highly recommended. Ted Cool

Great story line, well acted, leaves you wanting moreThe movie had a great story line, not having read the book made it a bit hard to keep up with at times, but the acting made up for that. This is obviously part one of a trilogy, so look for part II some time in the future. Enjoy the movie, it's worth the price.

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.
