the golden compass.
i loved nicole kidman. in fact, as i read the entirety of the book series (before i saw the movie but after i knew she was in the film), i couldn't help but picture n. kid as mrs coulter. she was the absolute most perfect choice for the role.
then i saw the movie.
sure, certain things needed to be changed for the sake of keeping an audience captive for two hours.
but then came the ending.
the most PIVOTAL part of the entire novel.
they dropped the ball.
this movie does not get my endorsement.
all i can say is: i'm happy i didn't pay to see it. while it was entertaining, it strayed far too much from the actual story. so i say to you: if you are literate, bypass the movie, and instead, take some time to read the book (and the sequels... they are nothing short of a-fucking-mazing).
that is all.
