Just got back from The Golden Compass. I wasn't impressed. The acting and/or dialogue was lousy, and they stripped out a lot of the complications I loved, like in the first scene, where I wasn't sure who was a bad guy. In the movie, you know exactly who's the bad guy. They left one revelation that came early in the book to drown in cliche at the climax.
It might have worked as a mini-series, but two hours wasn't enough time.
