The Golden Compass
So I took my mother to go see The Golden Compass the other night, not really sure what to expect. What I saw was an adaptation of the book that could've been longer, could've gone more into detail, but something that would still be understandable to the audiences that hadn't read the book. I wasn't disappointed, but in all fairness, I wasn't happy either. I guess, I was just, neutral?
There could've been more character development, but in the interest of time, some characters were introduced pretty quickly (Lee Scoresby anyone? They didn't even talk about how he ended up in the north). I felt like this was going along the same lines of the first Harry Potter movie, where they didn't want to delve into too much detail, but wanted to try to keep things realistic and make everyone happy.
3 out of 5, and only because it's my favorite trilogy, and even in the cinematography, I was expected to be a little more blown away.
But I guess I'm just spoiled.
In other words...my hair is blue-black. Check out my profile pic on facebook :-D
How's everyone else out there in LJ/Facebook world doing these days?
