The Golden Compass
Susi and I caught The Golden Compass at the George Street Greater Union complex. I’m sorry to say I was thoroughly underwhelmed. I simply wasn’t able to suspend disbelief at any point. Nicole Kidman looked terrific and played menacing very well. The young girl was thoroughly spiky and it’s good to see a female protagonist. Although I’ve not read the novels (I will get round to it) I’d say it’s a fair guess that fond readers must be disappointed by the movie version of what I believe is a very well told tale.
