PURE CINEMA GOLD!

5/5
The Golden Compass

In a holiday season where Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter no longer remain supreme-a new legend is born unto this world. THE GOLDEN COMPASS!!! This movie was fantastic and amazingly well done. The visual effects were completely stunning and captivating. The storyline was fantasticly reproduced and duplicated from that of the original novel down to the last detail. This movie was a magnifivent movie for the holidays and will, no doubt, be nominated for one of the BEST MOVIES OF 2007. Being a fan of the books, I've been keen on seeing this, but all the athiest controversey got me worried that the movie would have to water-down the against-government view of the novel, and would make the movie a sketchy, boring movie like the failing Eragon of last holdiay season. The Golden Compass is truly among the ranks of the high fantasy movies, and is definately one to remember !

HIGHLIGHTS: The Golden Compass has seriously become one of my favourite movies. It was visually stunning. It had an amazing plot. It stayed true to the novel. And most of all, it kept me WANTING MORE. Can't wait for the sequel in 2009!
DEFINATELY ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES OF THE YEAR, AND ALREADY LISTED AS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES IN DECEMBER!

LOWLIGHTS: *coff* goes the daemon.
