The Golden Compass

Entertaining while I was in the theatre but oh so empty in retrospect. Chris Weitz lost the meat and heart of the book and merely created a dazzling visual experience. Had high hopes considering the heart of About A Boy so maybe I am being unfair. Did enjoy the heartless Nicole Kidman as Lyra's Mom and didn't get enough Danial Craig as Dad. Loved seeing Tom Courtenay on the big screen again.
