polar bears should always be wearing badass armor
So I watched The Golden Compass last week and was disappointed to find out how dumbed down it was compared to its source. Just about all of the cool philosophical/theological themes are gone, leaving you with a basic "good vs. evil" story in a waay too complicated universe.
What's dust? Why are the Gobblers kidnapping kids? What side are the witches/polar bears/Russian guys/Mongolians fighting on and why? Keep asking yourself those questions, 'cause the movie sure as hell won't be answering any of them for you.
On the plus side, the casting and cgi was spot on. I enjoyed Nicole Kidman and Ian McKellen's voice performance very much and any scene with a polar bear in it was pretty damn exciting.
