Compass Of Gold

Guess you knwo where this is going if you read that title, huh?
Anyway, I got to go see The Golden Compass today (promised a friend I would take her to a movie and I had free tickets to this one! 8D) and I was politely let down.
I just didn't like Lyra. She was not believable, she was not the character I read about, and the only thing her daemon contributed was: "I'm scared. Don't do that. Don't do this."
BLah.
Nicole Kidman was not what I hoped for either, and Daniel Craig said like two things. :<
I guess that comes from having to rush the storyline like they did (it was quite jumpy) but I know they couldn't have fit it all otherwise. [I'VE HEARD ATLAS SHRUGGED IS IN THE MAKING. How the hell are they gonna do that? The book is EFFING HUGE.] *ahem*
The one thing I absolutely loved were the armored bears. Yes, they didn't develop them enough, but they didn't do that for any character. Yes, there is NO blood. Tough. It's a kid's movie. But in the book, I absolutely fell in love with the bears and loved that entire portion of the story and I guess because it was CG and there were no real people mussing it up I think they did fairly well.
*Snicker* IS THAT ALL? -deface'd-
<3 IOREK....He's cool. :>
So there ya go.
OH GOD I FORGOT.
The FREAKING ENDING. Why can't they end it like the book? IT IS NOT A HAPPY ENDING IN THE BOOK. It sets up for the next one and I guess they wanted to make everything all hunky-dorey for the kiddos but I really was let down there. :[
