just a little review

I just had to stop and do a quick review of this movie. This is the first review of a movie I have ever done. The reason I had to review this one in particular is because while glancing through DVDs on Amazon.com I noticed this one had only 3 stars. What??? I thought this was one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. Definitely one of the best "family" movies ever. Sometimes I find myself falling asleep during "family" movies. Not this one. The only thing I can think of to why it has only 3 stars is because of the bad rep it got before they even started filming it. I'm one of those people who like to actually view a movie before talking about it. I, like many other people, got the emails "warning" me not to watch it. It's anti-God. You will be supporting Atheists. Well, I have also watched Weeds, Hostel, and Veggie Tales. Does that make me a smoking, serial killer, who sees talking Veggie's??? It's a movie people! If you haven't seen this movie, please watch it! I believe you and your family will love it and will be waiting for the sequel to come! Oh, and I'm sure the people who rate this movie badly are the same people who rate Harry Potter poorly just because there are witches in it.

The Golden Compass

I thought I was ordering the movie and instead got the game. My gradson is thrilled, so I guess, thanks.

Better than expected

Due to the not so great reviews and the supposed complexity of the story if you didn't read the books, I was not expecting to really like this one, but hey the library was renting it. I watched it with my 8 year old, and we had to laugh as we remembered picking it out at the library and a friend of my daughter saw the movie in my hands and proclaimed "it has no God in it". A lot of movies don't, so I didn't really care.
Anyways, we put the movie in and I told my daughter to really pay attention and I was able to follow and 'get' what they were talking about even though I hadn't read any of the books. I enjoyed the movie quite a bit, even though my 8 year old couldn't follow it all, and I think she was even a bit spooked at some scenes. I put it up there with the Narnia series, definitely better than Eragon and even better than the latest dreary Harry Potter. I still don't get the religion aspect of it, I watch a movie for enjoyment, not critical analysis.
Entertaining!
