lack of strength

First of all, I haven't read the original novel, so I may not understand the "deep" connotation of this film.
But as far as the effect this film presents to me, I believe that it should be able to perform better in the original setting. In fact, it should be better for me to at least be able to understand and rationalize as much as possible, rather than a vague and hazy concept of a story.

The most exciting part of this film, I think, should be the "Battle for the Throne" of the Great Pyrenees, which really moved me. It has the potential of a determined film, and it should be said to be the finishing touch of the whole film. Although this paragraph is very exciting, it cannot hide the fact that the whole film is "not quite". Probably because of the novel, the story line is complicated.
The so-called "story content" is not empty, but some "flowing" narratives are not very clear, and they really don't resonate too much.

In the last "chaotic war" in which children escaped, I believe the director wanted to touch us, but it gave me the feeling of massacring the "church army". . It's a bit of a failure. . . .

The overall feeling of the film is average, and the appearance of the big bear can still be watched. . So give it 3 stars.

    Other than mounting images, daemon can be fury and cute, too, hooray! Pretty CG, beautiful Nicky, sexy witch. But the plot is plain stoopid, I mean, FKING RETARDED. And I wanna gut that lil' girl and skin her alive.

The Golden Compass quotes

  • [first lines]

    Serafina Pekkala: There are many universes and many Earths parallel to each other. Worlds like yours, where people's souls live inside their bodies, and worlds like mine, where they walk beside us, as animal spirits we call daemons.

    Stelmaria: Are we going to see the child?

    Lord Asriel: I should think so.

    Serafina Pekkala: So many worlds. But connecting them all is Dust. Dust was here before the witches of the air, the Gyptians of the water, and the bears of the ice. In my world, scholars invented an alethiometer - a golden compass - and it showed them all that was hidden. But the ruling power, fearing any truth but their own, destroyed these devices and forbade the very mention of Dust. One compass remains, however, and only one who can read it.

  • [last lines]

    Lyra Belacqua: We'll set things right. We will. You, and me, and Iorek, and Serafina Pekkala, and Mr. Scoresby. And my father. We'll set it right, Pan. Just let them try to stop us.
