Went to a screening of "The Golden Compass" last night.

The effects were great. Almost every scene had a 3D animal (aka demon) in it. And I will say that the bear fight was "jaw-dropping."

However, the story wasn’t explained well at all. There are lots of groups of people (witches, Gyptians, Gobblers, Eskimos, etc.) that just kind of show up and battle to the death and you don’t know why.

Movie series like Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter do a much better job explaining the fictional world that the story takes place in.

I hate when Hollywood forgoes the art of storytelling for things like computer generated polar bears with armor.
