Saw this yesterday. Took my eight-year-old daughter. She enjoyed it very much.
It wasn't perfect, certainly it has flaws, but all in all it was an enjoyable flick and I thought the performances, for the most part, were steady. Especially the girl playing Lyra.
Just being able to sit through a kids' movie without hating every second of it is something in and of itself. I didn't expect it to be Lord of the Rings.
