The Golden Compass

Justin, Paul, and I went to see it last night. Justin and I have both read the books. Paul has not.

It was okay. Not as good as I was hoping, but not terrible. Not anywhere near The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

My biggest complaint is the ending. I guess they wanted to end on a high note instead of the terribly low note that the first book ends on. Things I liked were the cool effects and Lyra not being as annoying as she was in the first book. I am looking forward to the second movie, mostly because the second book was when I started caring about what was going on.

After the movie, Justin took us out for Indian food and we gave him his Christmas present. Yay present!
