This was an exceptional movie, it straddles the worlds of childhood and reaches adults where every person never really grows up. Nicole Kidman was great an the little girl is a riveting performer. The ending screamed sequel, so let's hope. I'll watch it with my little sister. Stories of good n evil always work when they keep the good magic.

The Golden Compass was a fun movie to watch. It kept me on the edge of my seat during most parts and the final battle scene was quite interesting. After it was all over, they started off on this quiet ride and then it just ended. I want to see more and I really hope there's a sequel!

A beautiful and wonderful fantasy tale. It is not atheist. The movie was clever. Pretty. Intense. Awesome. and I certainly can not wait for another one! I recommend this to anyone who is up for a fun fairy tale and is willing to see the next one....

A beautiful and wonderful fantasy tale. It is not atheist. The movie was clever. Pretty. Intense. Awesome. and I certainly can not wait for another one! I recommend this to anyone who is up for a fun fairy tale and is willing to see the next one. The ending was a total cliffhanger. This is more of a prologue to the next movie.

I just have to say..what in the blue horn moon was this? I dont get it..was it trying to be intellectual? preachy, political, religous, or just a childrens fairy tale? I just cant understand. I know it was based on a series of controversial books...

I just have to say..what in the blue horn moon was this? I dont get it..was it trying to be intellectual? preachy, political, religous, or just a childrens fairy tale? I just cant understand. I know it was based on a series of controversial books but dam, the movie did so poorly of telling a story that made any kind of sense at all. The entire movie seemed contrived. As if some sort of spin off of the Narnia series but to a lesser degree of fame. Id applaud such imaginative stories but, this one just fell flat. The only real acting talent was the lovely and classy Nicole Kidman although, the only thing more ridicouls than her gold sparkle dress was her more elegant than thou, hairstyle. She also had the look on her face the whole time as if she was either ready to sip wine or give somone a spanking.I couldnt help snicker at the moment she slapped her monkey.FYI, Never slap a monkey. Its was more than diffcult trying to understand the thick british dialects let alone possibly comprehend the outlandish plot. Something about "Dust" dont look at me like that. At every mention of that word I think someone was asking "whered you hear about dust?" as if it were some kinda illegal street drug? Oh my lets not talk about Dust. Then there was the bear on bear fight. probably the most memorable scene in the movie. and who doesnt like CGI bears wrestling in the snow? I just didnt like the idea that the little girl had to be involved in every single moment. Still im glad to see a new face, because they could have easily booked Dakota Fanning and banked on her popularity, but i think shes had enough starring roles for a while. On a plus side old scruffy face Sam Elliott was in the movieand Ian Mckellen's voice attached to the bear. not bad. A better choice then lets say James earl jones or micheal clark duncan as your typical montone bear.
