Nice I can finally comment on it...
6/10
Solid book adaptation, stilted performances and timing. pace of movie goes from plot point to plot point to plot point with little character development within the movie to provide the backstories and character drives of the supporting characters.
Spoiler: no head of Stanislaus Grumman, no Lyra trying to fool the polar bear Iorek Byrnison explaining how human's can't fool bears. no explanation of the desire of Ragnarson pushing being human on all his subjects and the defective armor he wears. worst of all, the happy ending, and not the cliff hanger ending seen in the trailers with them going into the Northern Lights. I'm trying to find out how it did in front of test audiences with the original book ending. The movie novelization published by Scholastic, doesn't contain the same ending as the movie because the edit decision to remove the book ending was at the last minute.
