Golden Compass review - Dan says it for me
Dan has saved me previous typing time by getting inside my head and writing my Golden Compass review for me, right down to the "partner's thoughts" - enjoy this from his mighty Funeral & Snakes movie review blog:
Keen-eyed readers will remember that a year ago I nominated The Golden Compass as my most-eagerly-awaited title of 2007. So, how did it pan out? I’m one of those who consider Philip Pulman’s His Dark Materials books to be the most important works of fiction produced in the last 20 years and I was surprised at how closely the film followed Book One (Northern Lights), possibly to it’s detriment. I was worried that a film with much exposition and detailed scene-setting might prove unwatchable but my companion (unfamiliar with the books) found it thrilling whereas I found it hard to let myself go and relax into it - maybe second time around.
