Review of The Golden Compass (2007) by Sarah G — 14 Jun 2012
Based on the award winning novel, The Golden Compass is an exciting and epic fantasy adventure. The tale follows a wave of child kidnappings by a mysterious group called the Gobblers, and the quest of a young girl named Lyra who uncovers their fiendish plans and seeks to rescue her friend from their clutches.
The film has a great cast that includes Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig, Eva Green, and Dakota Blue Richards; who does an excellent job at portraying the lead character of Lyra. There are some script issues, but overall the story is fairly well told.
And, the special effects are well done; creating a unique, magical world. The Golden Compass has a number of flaws, but it delivers an entertaining and thrilling adventure.
