I saw it a few months back and enjoyed it. I've even read the entire 'His Dark Materials' series now.

I managed to see this the other night and was pleasantly impressed with it. Dakota Blue Richards who plays Lyra was very good, as was the rest of the supporting cast - Daniel Craig (not in it much, but was great when on screen), Sam Elliot (always brilliant), Nicole Kidman (a lot better than I thought she'd be and a more complex baddie than I thought too), Sir Ian McKellen (his voice is well suited for Lorek's character), Eva Green (sufficiently tantalising), Ian McShane (didn't recognise his voice at the time as Ragnar) and many more.
I thought it was a bit darker than Stardust with a much lesser comedy element, which worked well. The effects were all excellent - the polar bear fight in particular was very well done. The story rattled along at a good pace and having not read the book, I felt it held together well without any major plotholes or anything.
Overall a very enjoyable film and I'll look forward to the next installment.

You have convinced me even more if I really needed more persuasion  that I must see this film mate....I keep meaning to get it but end up doing something else or getting another film.  ....I must get The Golden Compass..... I must get the Golden Compass ...I must keep repeating that to myself
