Golden Compass

This imaginative roller coaster ride has more downs than ups.  I went to see this today and left feeling entertained, as one is supposed to after watching a movie.

The movie follows a little girl who can read a golden compass.  

The end was of course a cliff hanger.  

I would not bring little children to this movie, due to some of the long dialogue scenes that set up the actions scenes.  Okay, I guess I have mixed feelings on this film.

Nicole Kidman, of course, did a fantastic job.  But something was missing in the picture.  Maybe it's just me, but I think this movie should have stayed a book.  I hesitate in saying this one was bad, because it was entertaining.
