The Golden Compass

Taken from the series of books by Phillip Pullman (Northern Lights), I thought it was a highly enjoyable filum!

Bearing in mind I haven't read the books for donkeys though, I may feel slightly disappointed when I get the opportunity to read them again when I realise they missed out loads of stuff!

Acting wise, the girl was a plank. I cringed whenever she said the word "ain't" *shudder*. The little boy wasn't too brilliant either buuuut hell, they're kids, they've a lot to learn (though saying that, considering the sixth sense lil boy and I will probably beg to differ)! Nicole Kidman and Mister James Bond were brilliant - which is hardly surprising!

Special effects were coooooool - I loved the daemons! Superb!

All in all, a well balanced out film me thinks. Great for families and just good entertainment!

I know so many people will slate me for saying it was a good film as I get the general impression that many forumee's expect more from wonder films like such. I'm just a sucker for candy floss films and light entertainment.

Not at all disappointed - will look forward to the next one!
