The Golden Compass

Having just finished the book two days earlier, Stefan and Aimee agreed to go see the movie with me. My hopes were very high, but I walked out of the theatre very disappointed. I have not watched many movies made from books, and the ones I have followed the story quite decently(i.e Chronicles of Narnia). I guess nothing beats the theatre of your imagination, and the chances are very high that movies won't ever beat it. I have to say, though, it was not all bad. The part where Iofur Raknison(Ragnur in the movie) got half his head knocked off by Iorek Byrnison was almost exactly like I pictured it except that there was a lot more blood and gore in my mind. Also the part Lyra Belacqua was played quite well.

Enough of my ranting.

If you enjoy "The Golden Compass" and "The Chronicles of Narnia," you might like reading "Outcasts of Skagaray"by Andrew Clarke. For a free preview, look up www.threeswans.com.au or booktastes.com for sample chapters. Give it a try! If you blog about it your opinion would be read with interest.
