Utter garbage

ilovemyplasma from from Woking, 6th October, 2008

I hated it and switched it off after 20 mins. I found it to be a hotch potch of events with no real continuity uninteresting disconnected events and medicore acting. The weir thing is the cast on paper seem superb but i would have thought a few careers were damaged being in this dross. Even with its effects I didnt notice one memorable moment.

Very Enjoyable

A Customer from Bromley, 23rd January, 2009

My family and I have read all the books in the Dark Materials series and we were all worried that the film would be a disappointment as it would be impossible to recreate the ideas and images in the book. However, we thoroughly enjoyed the film which was exciting, colourful and did a very good job of capturing the magic of the book.
