Don't waste time and money
The movie is a let down on all the levels. Excruciatingly boring, I was fighting desire to sleep, very slow and the plot doesn't make any sense.
And the worst of it, noone ever tells you that the movie is not completed, so that you would have to come again to pay again to see the end of this nonsense. After 2 hours of boredom they don't even tell you what the 'dust' is.
What a joke! Movie makers don't have any respect for audience any more. Anything would do to get money. -

The Golden Compass
After being an avid fan of the Dark Materials Trilogy - i've read it 3 times over the years. I was so excited that eventually a film could surpass Harry Potter- the potential for this film had be jumping with anticipation. I saw this movie intially in the cinema and thought id give it another chance. So disappointed - If you hadnt read the books you'd struggle to keep up with this plot - The First book contained so much detail and information which seemed to be over-looked. Read the books first then have a gander at the film. Oh yeah and the young actress - mis-cast - wanted to strangle her before the film was out!

The Twilight Saga: New Moon director Chris Weitz will retire from Hollywood after just one more movie. Weitz, who also made About A Boy and The Golden Compass, admits he has been put off filmmaking by the bureaucracy of big movie studios and he'd rather spend his time relaxing and learning new skills. He tells MovieMaker magazine, "Every time I make a movie I'm pretty much convinced it's the last time I'm going to be able to do it and that really it's a rather silly occupation to undertake....
