Top Reviews  The Golden Compass... could have been better. 10 of 10 people found this review helpful. Set in a parallel world, this film revolves around a magical device (alethiometer) which can tell the holder the truth of the moment - powered by a magical substance called 'dust'. This film has great special effects, particularly the animation of the Ice-Bears, but I found the film as a whole terribly disappointing. Not having read the Pullman books, I had nothing to go on. The script failed to draw me into the film and left me wondering if much of the book had not been transcribed to the movie format. Nicole Kidman (Mrs Coulter) acts well as the wicked woman, who's performing experiments on children and their daemons (extensions of the soul). Daniel Craig (Lord Azriel) barely shows in this first instalment, but perhaps he has a greater role to play later on. The character played by Sam Neill (Mr Scorsby) shows some intrigue and promise. The main character (Lyra) is well acted but fails to have the same impact as major child characters is similar genre films. Hopefully viewer familiarity will give increased understanding to the rest of this series. Review ID: 10000000007499571 Was this review helpful?

Report this review  The Golden Compass DVD - Blu RayReview created: 03/09/08 by: Excellent effects, and imagery. The story is strong, but it does seem similar to Narnia.. As written elsewhere, the problem is this is part of a trilogy.. and like Lord of the Rings, this is the first episode, and probably the most boring (maybe like that the second, and third films will be exceptional, and exciting, in their own right).. and just when you think it is going to get going, it ends! I bought this on Blu Ray, as we have the player, and missed it at the cinema.. I think I will wait until it comes out finally in the complete boxed set before I buy anymore..
