bladesparkI saw the Golden Compass today. A few thoughts.
1. Understandably they dumbed it down a bit. Also understandably they left out Adam and Eve
2. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Pantalmion was too cute for words!
3. Shiny! The special effects and the setting design were spiffy.
4. The latter half of the movie mixed up the events of the book quite a bit. I kept going "wait, that's not supposed to happen here!"
5. Holy crap! When I read that bit, I thought to myself "there's no way the movie will follow the book here!" But the movie did! Holy crap!!!!!
6. Uh... where's the rest of my story? The ended it before the actual end!
Overall I very much enjoyed it, and I think they made fairly good decisions on what to simplify and what to leave out. But I had a few "Say what?!" moments there.
