I kept feeling like something was missing in Golden Compass, honestly. I don't know what it was. The acting is good, even the little girl as Lyra...Maybe I should've seen it in theatres. I like it but it felt like I wanted more b/c that series has made me cry in public. & I am SERIOUSLY pissed they have not started on The Subtle Knife w/ the intention of going on to The Amber Spyglass. They took the risk w/ LOTR Why not this? If they found the first book to be charming & beautiful, they'd die from the imagery in the next two books. Agh, I wondered if they were going to back off just b/c of how...close it dances w/ Religion?
I thought I would hate whoever played Lyra. She was your typical tomboy but had something more behind it. I thought they would overplay the tomboy bit & make her too rough & less intelligent. They didn't, thankfully. I believed her.
*sighs* All your reasons sound a good bit like what I was thinking. I want to see it come to life now, I would kill for it honestly. I hate that it's really not what America seems to respond to at the moment, I'm so sick of Tyler Perry movies & the really stupid shit that they drop on us. & yes, there are a LOT of pretty movies & I like eye-candy at times...but I miss movies that looked amazing but were just as solid story/acting wise. We can't seem to get that anymore.
