This is just a setup for the sequel - and I'm angry about it!, 14 December 2007
2/10
Author: Thomas Howard from United States

This otherwise *spectacular* movie was completely *ruined* by its obscene lack of closure. The entire movie was just a setup for the sequel. I left the movie theater angry that Hollywood now relies on sequels and trilogies. So much that now they flagrantly pitch teasers and hang plots until the next installment. I do not recommend seeing The Golden Compass until the trilogy is complete and you can view the entire story. Other than that, you should love the movie. I'm not typically a fantasy fan-boy but I thought the story was very original with fantastic characters. I rarely go to an actual theater because I believe it should be an experience worthy of the money. This movie really delivered in terms of sound, action, and plot. My reality was completely suspended while we learned about this other world. Unfortunately, it took me in but didn't deliver an ending that I could walk out with feeling it was worth my money. In the end, Hollywood just took my first of three easy payments. But there there was no money back guarantee.
