The Golden Compass
Directed By Chris Weitz
Rating star
Yet another movie that oversimplifies the book. Now anyone who's read Pullman's trilogy will know about the theories the author expounds at every chance. The movie cuts most of the 'philosophy' and insists on torturing us with extended scenes of the ruler-like Mrs Coulter and the monkey. If I thought there was a silver lining in all of this, it's Pantalaimon's voice. Truly gentle and androgynous creature. Sister says Dakota Blue Richards resembles the guy who played Faramir, David Wyndham. I think she's not off the mark.
