Review of The Golden Compass (2007) by Vincent W — 12 Mar 2014
The problem with this film is that the lead girl is a complete and absolute brat. The story premise and universe are interesting but the plot itself sucks. This is one of the greatest casts of all-stars that has ever been assembled and the film is completely undeserving of it. This is just another "children save the day and adults didn't for some reason" story.
I do want to say though that this film may be Freddie Highmore's greatest moment as a voice actor. I don't know any kid who can do what he did in this film.
It must be noted that the theology is a bit messed up.
