Why buy something written by someone with a huge chip on their shoulder while writing it? I'd rent it first to make sure you really think it is worth watching over and over again. It doesn't come close to Narnia, the book or the new movies.

I disagree. Golden Compass is way better than Narnia as far as the movies and the books go. Narnia is for itsy bitsy kiddies. Golden Compass on the other hand is dark and questions the way our society functions today.

The PQ won't knock your socks off. You can thank New Line Productions for that, for using BD based DNR! The SQ especially during the intense action scenes was excellent.

However, I would rent it for now and wait for New Line to release a remastered version. Hey, New Line: hint, hint.

yes but the MOVIE part...you know..that requires directing and acting...sucked a lot more than narnia.

the issue here is that the VFX were actually quite good...too bad they were wasted on this movie.

Xerious · 05-06-2008, 02:59 PM

this movie sucked... like REALLY sucked.

Sounds like you got a bad one, yes.

Felt like they were trying to do a mix of Narnia and LotR.
Still never got the definition of what there demons(How ever it was spelled) were. Story line was a bore, editing sucked. I'm going to get with my bro jwbbud to find out how to trade on here.
