Review of The Golden Compass (2007) by Kristen K — 03 Nov 2012

This was a disapointment. The acting left me cold, the idea of armour wearing fighting polar bear kings.... PLEASE! But the fact that this was unreservably the first of a trilogy and that the final moments are spent reading off the checklist of plotlines that need to be resolved in the sequels with sledgehammer subtlty left me infuriated.

This point made what was just about a tolarably interesting film, into a grand failure, in my eyes. Cashing in without a decent plot... AVOID where possible!
