| This is a well made film, but goes through the story far too quickly missing out a lot of detail.
If you want my advice read the books. | |

| Normally i wouldn't advise people against seeing films, but having read the whole trilogy and then seen the film, you realise that the movie doesn't tell a story close to the one that Phillip Pullman wrote.
The books are quite deep and detailed. The film barely skims what they contain and even reorders events making it a totally different story. It even makes some parts difficult to understand. | |

| I will buy the film as i do not have time to read many books and the ones i do read are related to the paranormal.
Im glad it is a good film as my boys have wanted to see it for a while but we never got around to it. | |
