Based on a fantasy trilogy by Phillip Pullman, The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass, The books were good, they are young adult (YA) which I read as more interesting and better written than Adult Fiction. The movie was pretty good. Dakota Blue Richards does a fine job of playing Lyra, the main protagonist, even though she was only 13 years old at the time. I thought she did more for the movie than Nicole Kidman or Daniel Craig.
It is too bad that they never made movies from the other two books of the trilogy. It could have been mediocre earnings from the Golden Compass. From a budget if $180 million, they only made $70 million in the US and Canada. Worldwide earnings were better, $370 million, so they should have made a fair amount of money on the Golden Compass.
