THE GOLDEN COMPASS - Review

NARNIA gave us a look into childlike wonder, the LORD OF THE RINGS took us into a world all to familiar where even the smallest person can change the course of the future, PANS LABYRINTH showed us how horror and cruelty can exist in a world of reality and fantasy, but THE GOLDEN COMPASS possesses none of these qualities. THE GOLDEN COMPASS is so focused on burying the truths of Philip Pullman's controversial novel that the story becomes nothing more than extravagant set design, fighting CGI polar bears, and characters that are so bone dry that you care nothing about their goals or their journey.
