The Movie: Fantasy based on Phillip Pullmans famous books “His Dark Materials” The Golden Compass is the start for this series. 11 year old Lyra is living in a world much like our own but not 100%. For example the human soul lives outside their body in a shape of an animal. Lyra lives in a school and she got no parents. The school looks like a nice place but scary things happen.

Judge: I think The Golden Compass was a big failure of a movie, because I actually expected this to be a very good and interesting movie. The whole movie is just a mix of brutality and torture against defenseless children. This could be okay if they added some humor and some warm aspects, but you don’t get anything of that the movie is just ice cold. There is also a lack of a good background story and about the world they live in. I had a hard time understanding this movies since they keep adding new stuff to the story that don’t make any sense at all.

I would not recommend this movie to anyone unless you like almost 2 hours with pure torture of children.
