The Golden Compass - My Review

The Golden Compass - Lyra & Iorek

Got the chance to catch the movie Golden Compass a while ago.

If you are fans of Harry Porter, Lord of The Rings or maybe Star Wars, this fantasy epic may have some analogy.

The storyline is pretty average, where you can predict what comes after next. I'm not sure if it's appropriate for kids below 13 of age due to some violent scenes and loud sound effects. It's ironic to see parents tagging their children along. Maybe, the movie 'Enchanted' will be far more suitable for them.

The best scene of all, is that furious fight between the 2 armoured bears, Iorek & Ragnar. You gotta watch that! It was a 'jaw-breaker'...and I really mean A JAW-BREAKER!

The Daemons animations were awesome! You can't tell the difference.

The ending was quite abrupt and it leaves you hanging. From how the story goes, definitely there will be another sequel.

Lyra (Dakota Blue Richards) stole my heart! Iorek Byrnison (The giant armoured bear) is definitely the real hero in the picture. I'm totally bewitched!

I'm not going to elaborate much, so not to spoil your excitement. You'll be more comprehend if you read up the sypnosis first and learn the language of it before viewing. If you have enjoyed the books, then chances you'll enjoy the movie more.

I'm giving 4 out of 5 rating. Commendable.

Happy watching, guys!
ps : To the guys from SKM, thank you for the movie tickets. :-)
