Movie Critic - The Golden Compass

Matthew and I rented The Golden Compass. My parents weren't home so we thought we'd get a happy movie. Scary movies are not fun when we're alone. It really freaks us out :). Anyways, the movie was decent. I mean the effects were really cool and we like movies like that, but in terms of the storyline the Chronicles of Narnia was way better. We did enjoy this movie and obviously there will be a second, but it was hard to really comprehend the story, and for a kid we can see how they wouldn't understand this movie at all. In the movie they talk about dust and supposedly it isn't a good thing. There is more to it but since we didn't really fully understand the movie it's hard to explain. Haha. It's weird. I really like how they have demons by their side. Their demon is an animal of some sort that acts as their souls. It's a neat idea. If something happens to their demon then that's what happens to the human. The bear was our favorite character, however, he doesn't have a demon. Maybe cause he is already an animal he doesn't have one, I don't know. Regardless, we love his voice and the way he talks. He is so cute! Anyways out of 10, 1 meaning horrible waste of 2 hours, 5 meaning good not great, 10 meaning the best. I would give it a 5. Now we have to watch the second one when they come out with it because, although the movie ends, it ends in the middle of the story. It's a to wait to see it on TV kind of movie. Good thing we rent our movies through Redbox because it only cost us $1.08.
