I was looking forward to seeing the film version - The Golden Compass - last night and I’m afraid I left the cinema feeling deeply disappointed. Taking a successful fantasy epic to the screen is never easy, but I’m afraid this effort from director and screen play writer Chris Weitz left me feeling as though I was missing something. The film failed to catch the colour and depth of the book. Superficial, it lacked the detail that made the books great. I guess I’ve been spoiled by the Lord of the Rings masterpieces, On the up-side, the visual effects are stunning and you don’t feel for even one moment they’re not real.
