It was no ordinary life for a young girl: living among scholars in the hallowed halls of Jordan College and tearing unsupervised through Oxford's motley streets on mad quests for adventure.

It was no ordinary life for a young girl: living among scholars in the hallowed halls of Jordan College and tearing unsupervised through Oxford's motley streets on mad quests for adventure. But Lyra's greatest adventure would begin closer to home, the day she heard hushed talk of an extraordinary particle. Microscopic in size, the magical dust--discovered in the vast Arctic expanse of the North--was rumored to possess profound properties that could unite whole universes. But there were those who feared the particle and would stop at nothing to destroy it. Catapulted into the heart of a terrible struggle, Lyra was forced to seek aid from clans, 'gyptians, and formidable armored bears. And as she journeyed into unbelievable danger, she had not the faintest clue that she alone was destined to win, or to lose, this more-than-mortal battle...
Leave your thoughts about The Golden Compass.
| MSNBCAlonso DuraldeThis plot may sound somewhat ludicrous on paper, but Pullman has created a logical, well-thought-out world that Weitz has brilliantly translated to the big screen. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertA darker, deeper fantasy epic than the "Rings" trilogy, "The Chronicles of Narnia" or the "Potter" films. It springs from the same British world of quasi-philosophical magic, but creates more complex villains and poses more intriguing questions. As a visual experience, it is superb. As an escapist fantasy, it is challenging. |
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen WhittyA pretty good fantasy -- with different bits of Potter and Jules Verne and Narnia all mixed up together into something new. |
| Flipside Movie EmporiumRob VauxLike its protagonists, The Golden Compass stands fundamentally isolated from its soul; unlike them, it hasn't the first idea where it left the bloody thing. |
| New York Daily NewsJack MathewsRepresents the year's biggest gamble - and it delivers the year's biggest and most ambitious fantasy. |
| Cinema SightWesley LovellA beautiful, thought-provoking fantasy film. |
| MovieJuice!Mark RamseySaid Ridley Scott: 'We were contemplating talking animals in Blade Runner, but we wanted to hold off Sean Young's descent into madness at least until the end of principal shooting.' |
| Beaumont JournalDanny MintonThis is a classic case of eye candy that doesn't taste too good. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderWeitz has the narrative leaping around frantically, managing to set up some interesting sequences but not much ongoing momentum. |
| Sci-Fi Movie PageJames O'EhleyA decent -- if somewhat cursory -- adaptation of the popular children's fantasy adventure. |
