The Golden Compass

It's a little late to be writing this post, but better late than never. The Golden Compass movie was fantastic. Fans of the book will not be disappointed, and that's saying something because I've never really liked a movie based off one of my favorite books. The film was so well done. The plot of the movie and the plot of the book were surprisingly the same, a rarity when it comes to transferring book to screen. The film makers did a great job of staying loyal to the Pullman's story, which makes me so happy because I love it just the way it was written. The Golden Compass definitely didn't need any spicing up. Another reason I hate based-off-book movies is because nothing is ever how I imagined it to be, but watching the movie was a pretty bizarre experience because I felt like I was watching my thoughts. Everything was perfect: the actors, the set, the costumes. I loved every bit of it.
