A review of "His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass" — 45 weeks ago
This film has stunning visuals and some good acting, but unfortunately Weitz’s screenplay has everyone (not just Lyra and her peer group) speaking like a child and reminding us of the exposition every ten minutes.
Of course, a disappointing screenplay leads to a disappointing film overall. This is a sadly missed opportunity to adapt a marvelous book into an equally good movie.
