Last night I finally saw The Golden Compass, after anticipating its release for months. The movie itself was amazing. My major concerns in the production process were resolved, although I have new ones. I’m not going to write a long review, because that job is better done by my favorite His Dark Materials fansite (SPOILER WARNING), but I have some thoughts. Read on, but beware, there are spoilers. I write my review as commentary intended for someone who has both read the books and seen the movie. If you haven’t seen the movie, see it! I loved it, and I bet you will too.
