entertaining for both. very good, very original. be aware of abrupt ending. i didn't know that it will be expanded into a sequel.
It's ok, but could have been better. They planned to film the entire first book, but changed their minds after principal photography was complete and left the last two chapters off--hence the abrupt ending. If they had known ahead of time that they were shortening the film, they could have taken their time with some other things--the movie doesn't have much of the emotional impact of the book. It's pretty to look at, though, and the girl playing Lyra is perfect in the role.
it's good - i recommend it
